I have a habit of picking up a piece of jewelry whenever I travel so that I can think about the trip whenever I wear it. I had looked online before travelling and found Shoreline design and we were going to be in the area so I made sure we stopped by. It was an absolute delight, and it had more to do with the staff and our interaction with them than the jewelry (which was fabulous and I wish I had been able to buy more). Peter took us into the workshop and showed us some unfinished stones and how he works his magic with them. He also took the time out of his day to help my daughter make her own necklace out of a piece of sea glass. It was one of our favourite memories of the trip and I will always be thankful we stopped there.

If you like yarn, knitting, or want to explore knitting, a class with Margaret will be a fun addition to your trip to PEI. I took two of her classes, Looms, lambs, and lobsters as well as Lavender and Lace. Enjoyed both of the classes, the first with 6 other people, the lace class on my own (late in the season). I enjoyed the lobster lunch on the water and the farm visit to Lavender/Honey Wine Farms was fascinating. The owner showed me different areas of planting including the plantings of small trees for a heritage apple orchard and explained how the lambs and 2 cows fertilize and graze between the lines of plantings to enrich the soil and help with planting of even more grasses and wildflowers.

My husband and I were celebrating our 17th Anniversary and he wanted to drive down some old historical roads in PEI from the airport on our way to our Airbnb. We happened to drive by Island Winds and decided to stop in because I had told him before we left home that I wanted to buy him a wind chime from PEI. We knocked on the door and the owner’s son answered and we went inside. It’s a cool little workshop with wind chimes hanging everywhere and some custom glass pieces you can substitute into them that hang from the bottom. They are tuned to different keys and come in different woods. We chatted for a while with the guy who was very nice and then headed out since we just arrived and wanted to get to the room and rest. Throughout the rest of our visit we would see wind chimes all throughout the island in various shops and they were all from Island Winds. On our way back to the airport on our way home we stopped back by the shop to buy the wind chime directly from the small business. We paid in cash and had $5 Canadian leftover but wanted some coins for our girls at home and the man was so nice to exchange it for us and explain about a loony, and a twony, and why there are no pennies. I highly recommend going to this shop. Every time I hear the wind chime I feel the island calling to me.

We noticed this shop on our way to Summerside and decided we must stop on our way back. The Village Pottery is a lovely little shop that handles the works of many different artisans so there is a lot of variety in designs and colours.The displays tend to be grouped by colour since even the potters have their favourite hues. I was most taken by the handleless clay wine mugs with the finger and thumb indents. As much as I loved them, I could not justify spending $50 for a pair. I can appreciate the work that goes into these pieces but they are pricey.
