Learn moreNine Years on Academy Road: A Little Grace & Co. Nostalgia
As the August long weekend rolls in, I’ve been flipping through old photos from our nine years on Academy Road, and it’s hard to put into words what that chapter meant to me. That space was more than a shop. It was a place where I got to meet so many of you in person — helping pick out the perfect wedding gift, chatting about travel plans, or arranging blooms for a display in the front window. Friendships were formed there. Registries came to life there. It was a warm, welcoming hub that felt like a little pocket of Europe tucked right into Winnipeg. While Grace & Co. is now fully online, my hope is that the same essence remains. Every piece we carry still reflects that curated, collected feel. The journals I write are my way of keeping those conversations going, sharing travel stories, garden updates, and the details behind the products we bring in. Whether you were a regular on Academy or recently discovered our online shop, thank you for being part of this journey. This community has shaped Grace & Co. into what it is today. If you’re in the mood to browse, I’ve gathered a few special pieces, this French market bag, these beautiful napkins, and these locally made charcuterie boards. Warmly,Dorothy

In a world where screens dominate, there's something special about toys that spark imagination and creativity. That's where Maileg comes in – a Danish design brand that's all about crafting toys that stand the test of time. Founded in 1999 by Dorthe and Erik Mailil, Maileg isn't just about making toys; it's about creating magic. Tiny mice tucked into matchbox beds, charming rabbits dressed to the nines – each Maileg creation is brimming with whimsy and charm. But what sets Maileg apart isn't just its adorable designs – it's the stories they inspire. From epic tea parties with stuffed animal friends to daring adventures with tiny figurines, Maileg toys invite children to explore new worlds and create their own tales. We're delighted to offer Maileg's collection, knowing that each piece is not just a toy but a key to unlocking endless adventures. And the best part? As your children grow, so too can their Maileg world. With new characters and accessories to add over time, the fun never has to end.
