Because I Said So: corner of 19th St and Hwy 2 S in Nanton, AB. Great cards, jewelry, espresso… Also home to the Nanton Literacy & Learning Used Book Corner.

What do you do when your Fair Trade cafe is being overtaken by a great collection of greeting cards, stationery, Fair Trade jewelry, crafts, independent music, beeswax candles,a great line of body care and a lot of other cool stuff? You switch gears and open a retail store that also happens to sell organic Fair Trade coffee drinks.

We will be open regular hours on September 30 and once again honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by donating 25% of our sales that day to Indspire, a national Indigenous registered charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people for the long term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada.

Join the Nanton Native Learning Circle for one of their interactive drumming sessions while you are in town! Check out the poster for more details.

“Well Lois, that was a busy day. All the visitors from Bikes and Bombers were lovely, especially the three bikers this morning weren’t they?”
“They were easy on the eyes too”
“OH LOIS! You’re such a rebel.”

A cool damp day is perfect for a tour around town to check out our amazing shops. Grab a treat from Parkland Sourdough , a hot drink from us, and have a peek at our new Native Northwest shipment! Beautifully soft Eco-scarves, made from recycled water bottles, and these gorgeous enamel pins pair nicely with Alberta-made Adrian Klis bison-hide bags.

Lois could never be compared to a doormat other than how beautiful these are! “Sometimes it’s best to see things in the wild”…so says Lois. Open today, Sunday until 5:00.
