Amazing sale

After 30 years on the main street of Haliburton we are sadly closing our store . It will be closing after the Thanksgiving weekend. The good news is we are keeping the Minden location open so you can still find us.

Even better news is that EVERYTHING IN BOTH OUR STORES IS SELLING AT HALF PRICE UNTIL THEN.

Hope we see you there.

What to wear in August

We are at the height of summer. Here are a few great outfits to put together from Bwana Johns for August

Singing the blues

As the temperature heats up this summer think cool. think blue.

We're feeling really cool at Bwana Johns.

 These knit dress's and tops are so easy to wear at the beach or on the street.

 This is a great outfit. take one over sized shirt, add a tank and a matching skirt and see how many ways you can wear them.

 Rayon is such a nice fabric to wear in long flowing dress's or pants. it drapes wonderfully and has a great swish factor.

Shorts and a loose top by day and add a hoodie as it cools down in the evening.

Feel great in blue this summer.

Sales

Another summer is here again, and once again we have started our "everything in the tent is $10-" sale. We've set it up like an outdoor market. Very eye catching.
Lots of great stuff is flying out the tent door. So if you are up in cottage country this summer be sure to stop by.

Bwana Johns is still for sale Check out the details here. A great opportunity for an interesting life style in a beautiful part of Ontario, and could involve lots of travel.

Tropical looks for summer

The weather has warmed up, life has slowed down and summer is definitely in the air. When it comes to dressing for the heat, think tropical. Here are 5 tropical looks from Bwana Johns to get you started.

New from Nepal

A friend who was in Kathmandu during the earthquake is visiting and has been telling us of the horror and the scariness of the situation at that time. He tells of the buildings falling down and having to 'sleep' outdoors and feeling the constant tremors of the after shocks, and how the city emptied out as everyone went home to their villages to see the extent of the damage there.

Fortunately most of our business acquaintances and friends we have in Nepal seemed to have survived, though there probably is no one who hasn't felt the affects of the earthquake in some way. Though there are some of the small villages up in the hills above Kathmandu that we enjoy spending time in that we just don't know about.

We have been discussing ways to send money and to help. Probably one of best way for us to help is to sell our Nepal merchandise and to go back next fall and do more business there so that at least the business people we know can start to move forward.

Our most recent shipment is in.

So come on in to Bwana Johns and see the latest and know that every item from Nepal you are buying is helping in some small way for someone get their life in Nepal back on track.

Coffee is good for you

The coffee we roasted last week has been bagged and is in the box ready to go to our stores in Canada.

I just read this article that suggests once again that not only does coffee taste good but that it can be good for you as well. I'll go along with that.
