Under the Willow Tree - Where To Shop In Chilliwack
Under the Willow Tree - Where To Shop In Chilliwack
What started out as a passion project and a channel for creativity has turned into a small business opportunity for Melanie, owner of 'Under The Willow Tree'. Quaint and decorative with a rustic whitewashed board ceiling, this little downtown shop had us in love from the start. Melanie’s store showcases trinkets, décor and clothing from local artisans and vendors between Vancouver and Hope, and also offers supplies for DIY projects.
With a variety of different decors line the walls, one corner carries a tremendous selection of plaster paint. Their website quotes: "We are currently the only stockist of Plaster Paint Canada paint products in the Fraser Valley. Plaster Paint is a "chalk like" furniture paint that requires no stripping, no sanding and no priming of your original piece!"
What makes 'Under the Willow Tree' unique is the amount of local artisans and vendors featured - not just from the Lower Mainland, but from Chilliwack itself. Of those Chilliwack vendors, the following are included:
Shimmer & Gold Designs
NanaB Designs
French’s Design
Vintage Spoonworks
Other vendors are from Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Pitt Meadows, Langley, Surrey, Hope and Richmond.
‘Under The Willow Tree’ also offers workshop classes where you can hone your skills ore learn new hobbies from the vendors themselves! Learn how to make unique scrapbooks, wood signs, home décor items, jewellery and more. Visit their Facebook page or website for more information on their workshops (see below).
The store is located just 2 blocks east of 5 corners, at 46257 Yale Rd (see map below).
Store hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10am-2pm
