Creations By Alfie was started out of necessity during a difficult time in the world. Alfie taught herself new skills to keep herself busy and decided to market this new skill, selling her handmade creations online. That evolved into the idea for bringing new product to market, while supporting family businesses in her home country of the Philippines.
After researching some of the products, she saw there is a market for the solid Acacia wood items available.
During this time Alfie and her husband invested in machines for laser engraving, and eventually cutting and started to make beautiful artwork, as well as more home decor and practical items. They are discovering new items all the time that can be made with laser cut wood and learning to engrave many materials.
Acacia tableware, handmade using all natural materials.
Crafty and useful handmade items for around the home.
Laser cut and engraved items. Customized available.
Laser cut game boards.
Corporate giveaway items.
This historic TRADING POST has been serving the community in the same location beside the centuries old Stoney Trail, for over 90 years. It was Jack Elsdon who came to the area and began a trucking business and trading with the native people. The business is still in the same family.
We specialize in genuine NATIVE CRAFTS, MOCCASINS, MUKLUKS, the real Cowichan Knitwear and much more. Visiting the Trading Post is indeed, a unique shopping experience. Where else can you shop around the warmth of the trusty wood stove amidst the aroma of freshly hand tanned hides and by chance, meet one of the native or local artists bringing in their goods to sell!
We hope you will visit and experience the warm hospitality and a subtle mingling of the old and the new.
