WALK, HIKE, BIKE & EXPLORE COOMBS, HOME TO GOATS ON THE ROOF.

Funky, Fascinating, Fabulous Fun to be found in Fengy Boutique, Coombs, Home To Goats On The Roof.

It's summer time & the energy is moving & pulsating & people are out & about walking, hiking, biking & exploring in all different ways & places. 
Markets, shops & attractions have re-arranged, renewed & refreshed their retail & are ready for the rush.

We went to Coombs last Saturday to buy fresh produce from the market & got swept up in the atmosphere, music & Fengy Boutique. The first thing that caught our attention was all the massive statues sitting out on the courtyard just south of the market, & my guess is they were imported from Asia; they seem to be part of Fengy Boutiques ambiance. 
Courtyard with massive statues.

















Well that was enough encouragement to draw us into Fengy Boutique where we were really blown away with what we found.


First impression
Your first sensation is "WOW"; its hard to digest at what you are looking at. Allow your eyes to adjust & take a look around, you will see wood carvings of literally anything & everything. 
Samurai, the great warrior

There are carvings ranging from massive to small, some examples of what you will see are, the Japanese samurai, Buddha, mermaids, wizards, dragons, elephants; I could go on & on with the different objects; you have to see it to
believe it, it's 
astounding. 


My happy Buddha
That is just the beginning of what is to be discovered in Fengy Boutique. Walk further into the shop & see clothing, all different styles, different colours, different materials, all done by one lady who has her little sewing machine set up in the shop & who is busy, busy sewing these beautiful styles.

To add to this amazing operation is the cloth she uses. The journey begins in Prince Rupert, BC where the trees are cut, the cellulose is extracted & then shipped to Vienna where the thread is made. From there, the thread is shipped to Frankfurt Germany, & made into glorious material with vibrant colours that this lady imports & creates into these dazzling fashions.  


A tasting of the treasures
Look further & you will discover funky jewellery, jazzy scarves, so soft alpaca products, First Nation carvings & much more.
Beautiful carvings
Love the wizard
