Sunday's Company is located in what used to be the local grocery store. Brick walls, chipped plaster, tin ceilings, and original massive solid-wood freezer doors all create a nostalgic backdrop for a shopping experience that a sensory experience in itself.
There seems to be common stages to the customers visit, that goes something like this:
Walk in. Stop. Take a deep breath. “Wow. It smells amazing in here”
Look around and think to self, “What even is this place?”
Decide where to start. There’s a lot to look at. Starts at one end and circles the shop to take it all in.
Reaches the back of the shop, and sees the giant wood door. “Whoa. Look at that door. Was this a bank. Is that a vault?” This leads to the conversation of the old grocery store, and further details of this old building
Notices the other half of the space (my studio). Walks in. Slight apprehension of going any further. Asks, “Oops. Are we allowed in here?”. And I reply, “Yes, absolutely. It’s my studio - where the magic happens”. They take a peek at shelves upon shelves of herbs, infusions, oils… and the creative process that is always strewn throughout.
Customer tells me what a beautiful shop it is, filled with so many special things; that the vibe is relaxing, and they feel wonderful just being in the space.
THIS. It never gets old. THIS. It’s what I hoped for when I signed the lease on this building. My favourite building on Main Street. THIS. It’s a special place, and I love it here, so much. I would love for you to experience it, as well. Come visit!
