Stop in to visit them at 5532 Main St. in Manotick.

JESSICA BEDARD SHOES

French-Canadian shoe designer Jessica Bedard is bringing her first prêt-à-porter collection to Ottawa this summer. These beautiful and unique shoes feature the same meticulous craftsmanship and modern styling of her innovative bridal designs.

Handmade in Italy using rich leathers and suedes, snakeskin, fur and feminine ribbon, a Jessica Bedard shoe invokes a sense of natural luxury. The clean, architectural lines and unexpected details define a new sense of style for the woman who wears them.
Popular among many notable women, including Canadian fashion ambassador Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, Jessica Bedard shoes are now available at Schad Boutique at 527 Sussex Drive or online at jessicebedardshoes.com.

SUNDAE SCHOOL

Sundae School is once again in session! Last summer, young entrepreneurial mom Lindsay Taub opened the popular ice cream parlour as a one-season pop-up in New Edinburgh. Outfitted with retro classroom furniture and blackboards on the walls listing ice cream flavours, the store was a popular destination for people of all ages during the summer months.

This summer, the old-fashioned ice cream parlour is reappearing in a new location with a fresh new design. Lindsay takes pride in being a local community business and sources her ice cream from the Carp Custom Creamery. According to Lindsay, the best part about being in the ice cream business is the joy it brings people because ice cream is such a treat—everybody loves it and it makes you feel like a kid again!

Indulge in everyone’s favourite summertime treat at Sundae School’s new location at 131B Beechwood at the corner of Beechwood Avenue and Putman Avenue.
