Moda Boho

Have you heard of Moda Boho?  I hadn't until just recently.  Moda Boho is a new shop that just opened up on 11204 - 96 St, a couple of weeks ago.

I was on a mission to find a door prize for the AWE Conference held in Edmonton April 21 - 23 when I drove past a new little shop that looked like it might have some local art to sell.  Since my job is to promote artists, I felt I should donate a door prize that was made by a local artist.

I met the store owner who was very helpful.  We browsed her new shop which is full of antiques and gifts that are unique, interesting, and, I thought, very affordable.  I was pleased to see she did indeed have items from Canadian artists, and I ended up buying two things.

The first item was a beautiful bead and jade bracelet made by Janie's Jewellery Design.  I highly recommend taking at look at her jewellery.

I also purchased a Raku Clay Rock Bird by Gayle Schmidt of Claymoon Studio in Terrace B.C.  Gayle is a Raku Clay Artist and can be contacted by email using gschmidt at telus dot net.  The birds on display were of various colors and when you shook them they each sang/whistled a different sound.  They really were well-crafted and beautiful.

It was nice to find another little hidden treasure in Edmonton where I can go to for unique antiques and gifts.  I wish Moda Boho all the best and great success!
