Welcome
to the Cardinal Curio Shoppe, your shopping place for unique
inexpensive gifts, antiques, and decorating ideas.
The Cardinal Curio Shoppe is located in the Sunny Okanagan Valley, in
the heart of downtown Westbank, British Columbia. It's at the corner of
Main St. and Hoskins Rd, right around the corner behind Outbound Cycle &
Sports at 3713 Hoskins Rd.
We are an upscale shop that has everything from new gifts to
consignments and antiques-- even a wide variety of specific items for
the "Red Hat Ladies" such as cards, hats, purses and even stationery.
Other special finds are Ostrich soaps and lotions, Lavender products
from essence to oils, and collectibles-- crystal, Royal Doulton
figurines and dishes from the early 1900's.
We have surprises such as Dutch wooden shoes, and even the antique
skates that were worn with them. There are beautiful antique furniture
pieces, such as early Canadiana sideboards, as well as sculptures,
paintings and modern baker's racks with matching coffee tables. If you
are looking for that special model boat, coloured insulators, stained
glass or even earrings carved by a local native artist, this shop is a
must. Small collectibles and household treasures in pristine condition
are some of the many items you will be able to find here. Even if you
are just looking for a nice Thank You card or small hostess gift this is
an excellent place to stop and browse.
We're happy to say if our clients are looking for a particular item, we
even have a wish list and have already been able to secure some of the
items people have been searching for quite some time.
We take pride in supporting many local artists in our shop, and thereby
offer many unique gifts to choose from for tourists that wish to bring
something special back from the Okanagan. Everything from the unique to
the useful is here for your shopping needs.
Our products are constantly changing, ensuring that each visit to our
store offers something new so we encourage you to come see us often
whether you are shopping for yourself, family or friends.
This is a delightful shop that should have every corner explored. We
have a staff of four ladies that work on different days--- which lends
different areas of expertise to the shop. We're now open Monday to
Friday from 11ish to 5ish (Closed Wednesdays) and Saturday from 10 - 4
pm and we welcome you to come and feel the joy browsing through these
wonderful treasures.
