Pop Cart!
Pop Cart was created by two Winnipeg locals, Angela & Alana. Starting back in 2015, having a goal to bring Winnipeg a better ice pop, they’ve become pro’s in ice cold treats! They specialize in premium handmade ice pops all made with care while keeping quality as the top priority. Each pop is made with the best possible ingredients and they are constantly working to bring around new exciting, tasty flavours!
Even more exciting news, they have just opened up a shop in South Osborne called Black Market Provisions. Along with an incredible selection of homemade goods (lots of vegan options), frozen & fresh too just to top it off, they carry an array of knicknacks and cute things to gift or show off in your home. They also offer the POPS here as well! So get outside for an end-of-Summer stroll and grab one for yourself!
The Fresh Perspective...
Freshair Boutique
It's a brand new year and we've taken a moment to think about how fortunate we all are. Praise has welcomed a brand new healthy baby boy - who’s name is in fact not Gary, but Zieohanachidi (Zo for short) - and we all have so many things to be thankful for. The people we surround ourselves with, the job that we love, all of the miscellaneous possessions we have been fortunate enough to afford - the list could go on. This got us thinking.
After brainstorming with our staff, we've decided we want to show some support for our city. We are all contributing and accepting item donations to Main Street Project for the rest of January and all of February. Please see the list below for their item shortages. Please bring in any of the following to receive a 10% discount on your service. Don't have anything booked but still want to donate? Save your discount for a future appointment or use it toward a product purchase! Stay tuned on our social media for reminders!
Let's show Winnipeg some love. Everybody deserves to have water, warm feet, and all of life's necessities.
Most In Demand Items:
New underwear
New or gentle used socks
Bottled water
Coffee
Sugar and coffee whitener
Please know that there are many other items to donate. If you are looking for inspiration, take a look at their website here.

Commonwealth Manufacturing = The Perfect Shirt.
Have you ever wondered if the perfect shirt exists? Well, we got you. Please do yourself a favor and go check out Commonwealth Mfg. Located in downtown Winnipeg at 290 McDermot Avenue, on the 4th floor. Take a walk through their work space and see exactly where the shirts are made and go ahead and try one on for size.
The detailed craftsmanship and precision put into these shirts are what makes them timeless. Invest in one of these and it’ll be with you for many memories. Not to mention the fact that you’ll look great.
This company is less focused on branding and pushing their product, but rather focused on creating the best possible product, selling itself. Each shirt is designed to be simple, classic and enduring, so you don’t have to worry about it going out of style.
Another cool thing about them is they recently announced a ‘Take-Back Program’. They will now be accepting any unwanted Commonwealth shirts, regardless of their condition in exchange for 15% off your next CMFG shirt. They will also fix these shirts up to offer them in a pre-owned shirt collection at reduced prices.
Have you tried these shirts? What are your thoughts?

Be Awesome This Season - Shop Local!
Freshair Boutique
LOCAL LOCALE LOCALEEEE.
One of my goals every holiday season in regards to gift giving is to source as many local gifts as I can. The idea of supporting someone who is working so hard to create something unique makes the gift seem infinitely more special. You can find just about anything here in Winnipeg, and these are some of our favourite shops. Check them out this season and give a gift that is unique and contributes to our local economy!
The Cheesemongers
The new (ish) independent fromagerie in friendly Winnipeg. All the cheeses they carry have a rich history. They are a labour of love, created by the dedicated farmers who believe in producing the highest quality milk; and the cheese makers, who pour their heart and soul into everything they mould.
Check out their gift packages - An awesome idea for a host gift!
Poppie Clothing
Poppie is all about helping women feel their best. With helpful, hands on staff, you’re guaranteed to find something you love. This store offers a wide range of options for people so that they can get as much of their shopping done in one stop as possible, get on with their lives and feel great doing whatever it is that they do best.
Go on, get a gift card!
dconstruct
dconstruct designs and manufactures unique, eco-friendly jewelry. dconstruct’s jewelry is handmade from leading architectural materials and each piece contains a minimum of 40% pre-consumer recycled material. The recycled content would otherwise be waste from producers of sky lights, store fixtures and vending machine covers.
Tiny Feast
Their shelves are stocked with an incredible selection of greeting cards, notebooks, writing instruments, and modern office supplies. You will also find a curated selection of housewares, accessories, lifestyle publications and children’s books.
Check them out - you won’t regret it!
Commonwealth Mfg.
Commonwealth Mfg. specializes in handmade collared shirts. Everything is constructed in small batches in Winnipeg's exchange district with fabric sourced from the best mills in Japan, USA and Europe. Transparency, benevolence and due diligence are Commonwealth's guiding values.
