Saturday; 10:00 to 6:00 (except this Saturday, when we'll stay open until 8:00)

Check out samples of what you might find in the store here at their Etsy store!  I made many trips to Ruby Dog while i was at Emily Carr University, for inspiration and art supplies, and returned again as an art instructor looking for interesting things to use in collages. I hope you have some time to check it out and support a local entrepreneur and some local artists.
