Cozy up for Fall
 Is it just us or is that a chill in the air? We hate to admit it too, but summer is coming to a close and we are looking forward to warming up your home for Fall. What is the fastest way to transition your living and sleeping space from Summer to Fall? Throws and pillows of course! From stunning faux fur blankets in Heidi's Room to soft, cozy, colourful Mohair throws to practical yet stylish country wool plaid, Granny's will have you ready to curl up and hibernate!
Pair your blanket with a couple of gorgeous silk pillows or our irresistible faux Mongolian goat hair pillows (you can't help but run your fingers through them) and your house will be designer-ready!
Oh Baby!
Granny's is also very pleased to have expanded our two baby sections. We recently added a terrific new Made-in-Canada line of adorable embroidered hats, onesies and gift box sets for baby. Perfect shower gifts! Also check out our toy selection full of soft, bright colours and fun designs and textures. Every plush has its own character name giving each new friend a distinctive appeal.

Give your Garden Personality & Heidi's Room goes Hollywood!
Give your garden personality!
There are so many ways to go beyond the green to make your garden interesting. Ornamentation is a key garden feature providing structure, polish and personality to an outdoor space.
At Granny's, we have ornaments for every style, from simple to ornate:
Small garden statuary, Flower pots, Birdhouses, Iron birds on a stake, Mini birdhouses on a stake, Solar lanterns, Iron bunnies & crows, Hanging planter baskets, Outdoor iron wall decor & Wrought iron topiaries!
Watson Gloves
For your own comfort, treat yourself to a pair of Watson Gloves. These are the best gardening gloves we've found. They get rave reviews and are so thin that they feel like a second skin. But don't neglect your first skin - take care of your hands after a productive day of gardening with Gardeners soaps and lotions.
 Heidi's Room goes Hollywood!
We've all admired the styles of the stars. Now you too can show off a little piece of star flair with our latest arrivals - Genuine Italian Leather handbags in styles reportedly owned by all the Desperate Housewives fashionistas! The quality craftsmanship of these bags is evident in every detail, from the supple full-grain leather to the clasps and hardware to the soft brushed canvas lining.
That was fun, now back to our roots: Made in Canada from hand-woven Scottish tweed, Granny's now offers authentic Harris Tweed handbags. Experience for yourself the warmth, comfort and historic soul of these classy and classic handbags.
Staff Picks
Each of our valued staff members has unique tastes and their own favourite items in the store. Through our e-newsletter, we'd like to periodically share with you some of their chosen gems. Come in and ask for them by name!
Sheila's Top 3
This month, Sheila chooses:
1. King Fleur-de-Lis quilt and pillow shams set
2. Winslow Table Lamps
3. Black and etched glass stemware
All of Sheila's picks are currently on display in Heidi's Room.
What's that Purple Flower?
 When you arrive at Granny's for your next visit, take a moment to enjoy the lush and spectacular Scaevola ("Purple Fanflower") plants sprawling across our patio - a signature feature in our flower boxes and on our grounds. Pick up a few hanging baskets of Scaevola soon and enjoy an extended season of gorgeous colour in your own garden.

Mother's Day ideas at Granny Taught Us How
The Gardening Mom
The cool weather is stubbornly sticking around, but that won't stop our gardening Moms from getting ready for the coming green season. We have rustic and refined garden ornaments, quality garden gloves (throw in a pair for Mommy's little garden helper too) and various garden-themed décor items that you won't find just anywhere.
Feature gift for The Gardening Mom: Après-gardening skin care, flower pot & gardening gloves.
The Pampered Mom
What's the best part of Mother's Day? Getting pampered, of course! And don't we all love to spoil our Moms? Granny's has indulgences to match any taste: heavenly bath and body products, unique sterling silver jewellery and to-die-for sweet treats.
Feature gift for The Pampered Mom: Our best selling Body Wash & Lotion in Kimono Rose or Lavender, a wash mitt & a sea sponge.
The "Scent"-sible Mom
If your Mom is an eco-friendly Mom then Paddywax Candles will make her melt! We offer a luxurious collection of candles that a true candle-lover will surely appreciate. Each candle is hand poured and made from all natural ingredients of a signature vegetable wax blend. With each wick made from pure cotton, Paddywax candles are 100% environmentally friendly.
Feature gift for The "Scent"-sible Mom: Luxurious Scented Candle in an elegant gift box.
The "Tea Granny" Mom
Nothing is better than curling up with a good book and a relaxing cup of tea. Why not make Mom feel extra special with a stylish tea set and an assortment of delicious teas.
From basic Breakfast Teas to Dessert and Organic Teas you will be sure to find the perfect one for your special Mom.
Feature gift for The Tea Mom: Tea set
The New Mom
Amid the minute-by-minute demands of care, a newborn baby also sets a mother's thoughts to the future. She dreams about the relationship she'll build with them, the lessons she'll teach, the values she'll pass on. This collection of short essays, reflections and poems will inspire a new mom to establish her own "spiritual and emotional bond that begins a lifelong journey of adventure and discovery" with her new child.
Feature gift for The New Mom: 100 Promises to my Baby, by Mallika Chopra, daughter of Deepak Chopra
And finally...
The Mom who has everything (except, perhaps, a green thumb)
The good old stand-by gift of a dozen roses takes on a whole new meaning when you give Mom the most realistic silk roses you have ever seen. Priced the same as real long-stems, these roses will never die and will be a constant reminder of how much you truly appreciate her. Our new line of silk flowers has been flying out the door. If your Mom is not the get-your-hands-dirty type of flower lover, this is the perfect solution for her.
Feature gift for The Mom who has everything: A dozen GORGEOUS roses or a spring bouquet of silk flowers
