Here at The Cross we LOVE our Ribbon! We sell a wide variety and really enjoy hearing about the creative ways people use it! Here is the latest example:

 Our Lovely and talented customer Christyn (a vancouver based mixed media painter) uses her ribbon for all sorts of things one being as a belt.


Have a look:

Union Wood Co.

06 Aug 2010 | News

Have you been wondering what is the story behind the locally made, Reclaimed Fir Plank Tables that are featured in the store?

They are made in Vancouver by the talented owner of Union Wood Co. -Craig Pearce. He is able to customize his furniture, including but not limited to the finish, size and table legs.

Union Wood Co is an aesthetic of vintage and industrial objects. Nostalgic of the solid floors of the docks, foundries, mills and factories upon which this city was built, and the men that did it. Union Wood Co. is inspired by the simpler times of centuries past, but living in today’s modern lofts and heritage homes.

Using materials mostly reclaimed and re-purposed from salvage yards, antique stores, demolition sites and other sources, Union Wood Co. create pieces that are solid, bold, and one of a kind.

Recently Grace took a tour of Craig’s workshop- Check out the pics!
