There was tons of different crafts and things to look at. We went to the top section of the floor and we saw that they had a craft class going on. I even found this syrup I use at the store for super cheap. A lot of the items were affordable and unique. It was a super cute gift shop.

All of the possible classes are listed in their website. I would be hard to pick a favorite class. Each of the classes is taught by a different artist or expert in that class. There are 2 different areas where the classes are taught one in the back and one in the middle section. The website has a description of each class that is offered as well as the requirements that you need to bring for the class. The ability to walk out with a project that you learned how to make is priceless. I highly recommend going to a class at My New Favorite Thing or just going shopping. Local artists each get a section to display. I will be going back for more projects.

I channel the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge when considering what gifts to bring back from holiday. A memorable trip to Scotland netted me painfully few personal goods at the end of the day, and I still regretted those pictures of several beauty spots that never turned out due to technical issues or bad weather -- a common problem in the Highlands, rain. I never expected to find the solution to my problems tucked away behind the kitsch and Tudor buildings at Canterbury Village. My visit there had been wholly dissatisfying, and a walk brought me up to a brightly painted shop. Enter the Celtic Connection, one of those specialty stores run on two parts passion and one part love. It's a small business squashed away onto two floors, chock-full of various tokens of the Celtic nations (Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and Manx), though Ireland gets a definite nod in most things. Nonetheless, behind the posters for Highland games and musicians at local spots, I found a few real gems. First up, postcards. Ever wanted your own view of Loch Linnhe or Dublin Castle? They may have you covered on some lovely art prints for a decent sum, and better yet, none of the touristy cards covered in nuisance slogans. Along with an assortment of magnets and keychains, other fun bits include lovely frame-ready prints, Celtic jewelry for men and women, and even a few snacks usually found at specialty import grocers if you're lucky. The clothing selection is really their bread and butter though. Wool sweaters predominate, and these are the real thing straight out of the misty isles. Fairisle sweaters, represent! You'll pay a pretty penny for the privilege, but the sumptuous weight and designs are more than ready to stand up to a cold Michigan night. I also got a kick out of the baby onesies available.

Incredibly helpful and friendly staff, they are always willing to help. My girlfriend accidentally left her ring at the store and the shop keeper kept it in a safe area for almost a month until we were able to return! My girlfriend bought me an Irish wool cap and I absolutely love it and wear it all the time! On top of it all, it's in a beautiful setting and I love coming here around the holidays. In the Summer, lots of flowers and beautiful scenery make it also very pleasant to walk around! I will always continue to support Canterbury Village and The Celtic Connection and The Highland Fling. It was a big part of my childhood and I hope it remains for my children as well.

I have been going to the holiday open house at this location for decades and this is the first year that I did not receive everything that was advertised to me in my invitation. They claimed not to get the votives in and the gave lousy towels as a replacement product- not even a Hallmark product. I am a platinum rewards member and will not be shopping here ever again. They lost a great customer for "corporate being cheap and bringing in musty products".

It's clear that Ed's Broadway Gift & Costume is ideal for the person seeking a good costume for a party or event. I went to find costumes for some short film projects. They had some decent choices.
