Skitch

Rude owner. As I was shopping in her store, I hear someone behind me saying «No thanks! We’re good!» I assumed the voice was directed at someone else. She then came over and covered up the thing I was about to take a picture of with her hands. Apparently, she minded me taking a picture in her store.
Having a policy against photos is short-​sighted, but certainly her right. I was bothered by the rudeness more than the policy.
I’ll take my business elsewhere, and encourage you to do the same.

I was wandering around Whistler village one afternoon and I stumbled into Skitch. The store was filled with handmade crafts from Canada, the perfect shop for the traveler that wants something more than tacky souvenirs. Glass wind chimes, ornaments, candles, statues, mugs, magnets, etc. — a piece of Canada for everyone. I gathered my collection of knickknacks and placed them on the counter. The woman (perhaps the owner?) that wrapped by new found belongings told me who made everything and what part of Canada the pieces were from, a welcomed touch, that’s service that’s hard to match. If you’re in Whistler, drop in and look around, don’t be put off by the prices, consider that it’s not your average souvenir shop.

I love coming into this place. It reminds me of FireWorks from back home. Just a bunch of cute knicknacks for around the house. Its pretty pricy though so i usually just look around.

This is a great little shop featuring 100% Canadian handmade products!
Everything from Ceramics, Glass Sculptures, Wood Carvings, Magnets, Greeting Cards and everything in between.
We found a great votive candle holder, that looks like crushed glass, for under $ 30! Take a look ;)
