LIVE LIFE IN FULL BLOOM

Life of a Mompreneur
Welcome to Gone Scrappin' In Bloom - aka GSIB!
It's nice to meet you, I'm Kelly Hunter! This has been my baby for over 13 years! In this beautiful old general store (1938), you will find all of my passions rolled into a super amazing store and gathering space! My passions include my camera, scrapbooking, designing on my computer, a good book, a great cup of coffee, vintage treasures, art & music and the spa! So a lot of products that work their way onto GSIB shelves originate with some of my passions! With a crafty and artistic background, my first priority is supporting fellow artisans. Whether they be made locally, within Manitoba, Canada and beyond! You will find so many handmade and small batch crafted items in our shop or used within our café.
GSIB is more than a physical place - it is a place of inspiration. As I walk around or get comfy on our red couch, it reminds me - "this is why I took a leap of faith". If these old brick walls and pickle barrel stained wood floors could talk! This building has been standing for over 85 years and it is full of good vibes! It has always been a general store with a menagerie of eclectic wares. First built in 1908, burnt down in 1937 and rebuilt in 1938. It has been a cornerstone hub for Rossburn. In all that time, I'm the 5th owner! This place re-charges your soul and calms! Take a breath and enjoy the slower pace as you walk in through our front door. When I need to re-charge or get away from the chaos of the Hunter house - you can usually find me at the store sipping a latte and puttering with flowers, a craft project or displays! Come and join me on our red couch! Welcome!
Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere. We'll stop in every small town, learn the history and stories, feel the ground and capture the spirit. Then we'll turn it into our own story that will live inside our memories to always carry with us. Because stories are more important than things.
2019 GSIB Christmas Store Tour
Welcome to our GSIB Christmas Store Tour 2019! This is my annual “quick late night reveal video” and it never quite does the store justice!! There are so many great local artisans that I know I miss mentioning (we have over 50 local/MB made artisans) and so much more to see than what I zip through really fast, just to try to keep the video around 10 minutes! You don’t want to miss seeing this Christmas transformation in person! So hop in your car and plan a road trip with friends this Christmas season!! Come visit Gone Scrappin’ In Bloom (flowers, scrapbooking/art supplies, home decor, locally made wares & cafe) on HWY 45 between Russell & Clear Lake!
Thank you for contacting us!
