We are so excited to report that week 1 of our pilot program with The Wild Stand of Collingwood was a great success. We joined forces to better serve the Collingwood, Creemore and surrounding area with all good things: bounty from a local food market and books from an indie bookshop. One stop shopping. Two local small businesses working together. And we're doing it again this week. When you place an order both with WILD STAND and CURIOSITY HOUSE BOOKS, you will receive your books with your bounty together in the same lovely care package. Books and Bounty. Available for pick up in Collingwood at Wild Stand or delivered to your front door. This Wednesday May 7th. Just in time for Mother's Day. To get started, all you have to do is to let us know that you have also ordered books or groceries and we'll take care of the rest.
