I am looking for some advertising opportunities and really interested to advertise on your blog kitka.ca
I was wondering if you are willing to accept paid/sponsored post on your Blog. Can you please let me know with the rate you charged for per post?
Looking for your kind reply.

Hi John & Juli,
I love the concept of importing furniture and selling it in Canada. It has always been a dream of mine. Just wondering, what made you get into this business? Would you ever consider posting a blog entry about your journey thus far?

Hi John, thanks for your inquiry! Not a bad idea to tell our story here on the blog. Sometimes it’s a challenge to articulate. The short version is that John was interested in furniture, and we found that what was available locally was not our style. We felt like there was a hole in the market and this was in part our motivation. That said, importing furniture is not for the faint of heart! Challenges with shipping, damages, timelines, duty, brokerage and other costs arise. The role of the small retailer is not as respected these days due to the customer expectations that have been created thanks to big box corporations. I am happy to report though, in the last 6 years we’ve been in business attitudes are shifting, and I am hopeful that people will tire of the mass consumer culture and learn to cultivate a more personal experience.

Hi Sufyan, thanks for your interest in advertising on our blog. At this time we don’t do advertising, partially because it’s a personal blog, partially because the blog is an extension of our shop.

Hi Sandra,
No, we are no longer able to carry the rocking sheep, and I am not sure who may sell them now. Look up Povl Kjer…maybe a Danish shop has it. Best wishes!

Hi Soobin, we used products made by WOCA – they sell a lye treatment and pre-made soap for cleaning, among other fantastic products. I highly recommend their products.

Hi Toby, Douglas Fir good one side with whitewash and many layers of Bona Traffic :)
It’s held up pretty well considering the increase in foot traffic over 8 years.

Hello! I am trying to track down String shelving to purchase for our office. I noticed in one of your posts from 2010 you ordered some for your store. Do you still carry it, or can you order it? I was thinking a combination of open and closed shelving, for an approximate 56″x32″ unit. If you do not carry it, do you know of any companies that do? Thank you!!
