Shelley Kingston, Ontario Was so pleased that I was able to visit your store after a weekend in Bancroft, I could have spent hours in the store and will certainly visit again, worth the drive.
Krista Bancroft originally, but now Ottawa I am in love with this store! I tend to shop "quite a bit" in Ottawa but "the old tin shed" is as charming and well put together as I have seen. As soon as you get out of your vehicle you are drawn in to the lovely gardens and interesting trinkets outside. As for the inside you simply cannot get enough of it - I could have spent hours. Will be back at Thanksgiving and of course Christmas. Well done!
Ann Kingsville What a sweetheart of a shop. Every season brings new goodies. We cottage on Mink Lake, so I drop in several times a year and am never disappointed. Can't wait for Christmas!
Michelle Keswick Have driven by so many times, so when my new hubby and I were up for our honeymoon I decided to give you a try to look for some thank you cards and gifts. I fell in love! Wanted to look at everything and it was hard to leave. I have spread the word and I'll be doing my Christmas shopping there for sure!

Colette Kingston, Ontario Someone obviously has a good eye for the rustic/unusual country look that I love. I loved your store (everything about it)and hope to be back in September. Our car was packed from cottaging so not much room to bring things home unfortunately. Oh, and we loved your choice of garden plants.
Nancy Mississauga I stopped in a few times while on vacation at Baptiste Lake and absolutely love your shop. My Bearington Bears will be forever treasures of my time in your area. I hope that my August 2006 trip will bring me the same treasures.

Nancy Sudbury Hi, On my last day of vacation in Bancroft - I happenned upon your store. My Mom and I throughly enjoyed our wander through, interupted only by the call of a warm sunny afternoon by the lake (we just visited last week and as you know, those days were few and far between!). My purchases are enveloped with special memories of an enjoyable vacation - wonderful momentos to treasure. Your store is fantabulous (not sure if a word) but does decribe our enjoyment - we will certainly see you next fall! Have a wonderful winter and a sucessful show upcoming in Toronto! Nancy
Tammy Bath, Ont. Friends of ours have a summer place about an hour from your store. My husband and I love to spend weekends with them there. One of the highlights is when my best friend and I gather her daughter and our husbands up and off we go on a road trip to Bandcroft area. Never have we gone through when we haven't made the guys pull over at your store. We just love to wander inside and out and we never leave empty handed. The guys also like the store because as they say "happy wife, happy life". Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place to stop and explore. Tammy
Jennifer Orangeville I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am to find this website! I can't tell you how much I loved it! I wanted to be holding a nice cup of tea and settle in... like my own little B&B. So much to see... so much to take in...so much to enjoy! I could easily fill every pocket of our home with Tin Shed "stuff!" Thank you for being there... after 4 solid days of rain while camping... you were just what I needed! I look forward to visiting again! LOVE IT! Jennifer
Donna Perth Love your store and I stop often........too often!!!!
Floyd Webster, NY Have not been to Bancroft since my Uncle Elwood Musclow passed away.. Just too busy here and getting older also. Have many relatives there, but don't know many of them because we only visited there with our parents when we were youngsters. Not familiar with the Old Tin Shed. Where is it? Could it be that building I used to see in Birds Creek?
Sharon Gilford, Ontario Congrats to you all on your 5 years - I celebrated mine in June of this year - it really is an accomplishment. I was in your store about 3 years ago and spoke to one of you about some of your products and you were kind enough to tell me about Harvest Scents. I have had a few orders for my store from them now and it really is a great company. I just wanted to pass a hello and wish you all the best for the next 5 years. I hope business has been good for you this year - it's been tough, but I actually am having a very good year! Thanks for taking the time with me back then and I hope sometime you will visit my store. Have a nice day, Sharon. Yours Truly Country Store 5417 Yonge Street Gilford, Ontario L0L 1R0 905-778-8829 (P.S. I am just down the road from the Cookstown Outlet Mall at Hwy 89). Bye for now.
Brenda Burk's Falls Sunday October 26, 2008 was the first time I have taken the time to visit your store. It was quite a good experience. I bought some lovely candles and got some great ideas for Christmas gifts. I will be back.
Lynn Bancroft Great Job!! I love the way the products just keep moving and new items popping up. Made me want to rush right into the catalogue and can hardly wait for our "Annual After Hours Shopping Spree". Lynn
Patsy librarycuzdialuptooslow Hi Girls The new website is great! As for the store: from the couple who visited EVERY weekend until I left my job need I say more! Ron's busy, I'll be back! Patsy
Kathy Here Hello Girls Site looks Great, Wish all the best this season Kathy
Ami bancroft It is well known how much I love this store! My husband believes that I should have shares in this company by now. Likely 3 quarters of my home decor is Old Tin shed related or inspired and it always smells like Cranberry or Mulberry. The staff is soo friendly and helpful and the store is inviting and inspiring in every season. I would say that many of the gifts I give are from the old tin shed, but that would be false since I love the stuff too much myself to give it away!! The website looks as good as the store,great job ladies! Thanks for providing little ol' Bancroft with such a wonderful and unique gift!!!

I collect stars, and the Old Tin Shed has a wonderful collection of stars...tin stars, painted stars, star candle lanterns....just beautiful! The sights and smells are delicious, and I plan to visit again very soon! Thank you for a delightful experience! Happy New Year!

Dayle Janetville A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I drove up to Bancroft and tried to stop at as many yard sales and antique/curiosity shops as possible along the way.

Emily Stouffville ON My family has a cottage in Harcourt, which is not too far from Bancroft. I can remember as a child going with my mum into town and always stoping at the old tin shed.
