General Fine Craft

General Fine Craft is a commercial gallery exhibiting the work of highly skilled, innovative artists mainly from Ontario and Quebec. The bright, open space is designed to showcase functional and non-functional fine craft and art. Our makers are at mid and mature stages in their creative lives, all demonstrating a profound and professional devotion to their art practices. Our mission is to illuminate the art in Fine Craft and the craft in Fine Art by selecting work that is challenging on many levels: technical, aesthetic, conceptual – and in terms of its ability to simply delight the human soul. We curate special features on particular artists’ work and pairings of artists. Exhibition vernissages are popular and lively events, growing Almonte’s reputation for being a hub of creativity in Eastern Ontario.

Darrell Thomas Textiles

Darrell Thomas Textiles originally opened its doors on September 18, 2000, and quickly became well known for providing the most beautiful and original dressmaking textiles in Ottawa, Canada. Darrell and Thomas opened this store with the purpose of providing the sewing community a boutique with well-represented textiles and interior accessories. Now, the textiles industry will be returning to Almonte, Ontario. Darrell Thomas Textiles has chosen 7 Mill Street Unit #101 as their new home. The grand opening of our new store was November 17, 2020. Darrell has established this business in Ottawa for 20 years (Anniversary Sept 18, 2020) but now feels that Almonte would be the best place to showcase their beautiful designer textiles & Buttons.

Cheerfully Made

Cheerfully Made is a handmade hub for local area makers and the people who love them. What began as an adorable tagline for owner Emily Arbour’s handmade-loving gift shop Hello Yellow, is now the name of both her businesses: Hello Yellow AND Handmade Harvest Craft Show. In a nutshell, Cheerfully Made is both a retail gift shop that carries mostly items made in North America (many very very local) AND a series of craft shows that call the Ottawa Valley home. We look forward to continuing our mission of supporting the Canadian craft community by offering makers opportunities to showcase their work and make a life doing what they love.

Tin Barn Market

We believe your space should tell a story about you – who you are, how you live, what you love. The Tin Barn is eclectic. People aren’t perfect, and their homes shouldn’t be either. Because perfect is boring, right? Your story is gritty and beautiful – full of past memories and future dreams. There should be room in your world for cherished relics and contemporary glamour. Whatever brings you joy. At the Tin Barn we believe style and story go hand in hand. Our goal is to help you express your unique personality through the space that surrounds you and help you find key elements to bring your look together. We are always on the hunt to bring you pieces with history, character and style. Sometimes we leave them as is, sometimes we work them into something even more interesting & beautiful. We pair our finds with new, functional items that help meet your home’s needs, keeping it easy, simple & well organized. The Tin Barn Market is a shop, cozied up to a bakery, tucked in the beautiful heritage downtown of Almonte, Ontario. We are open 7 days a week, just a half hour drive from Ottawa and always happy to help you find just the right thing to make your house a home.

Vamos Outdoors

Our Story “Vamos” is Spanish for “let’s go!” The name was inspired by the many Spanish-speaking countries Lisa Nye-Labonte visited while sailing around the globe over the course of 8 years. After returning in 2008, Lisa put plans in place to open this store as a means of getting people out and moving. Six years on, our community has grown, the business has evolved and we have a great team in the shop everyday to service our loyal customers. We love them and they love our commitment to excellent customer service, great selection and fair prices. It’s fun. Getting people active and outdoors, gets us motivated.
