2013 Haliburton Home and Cottage Show


The Little Tart - Fall in Love at First Bite!

 

Look for our sign on Gelert Road!
It's the "Haliburton Home and Cottage Show" weekend! With there being only two of us, and we just can't be in two places at once, The Little Tart will not be there, but you can bet your buttertarts (pecan tarts, luscious lemon tarts, double sized squares, and more) we're open and we're only a 10 minute drive south of main street Haliburton off Gelert Road; past the Fish Hatchery, past the Driving Range and a short scenic ride to Koshlong Lake Road. Look for our OPEN sign.

Friday 12pm - 7pm
Saturday 10am - 7pm
Sunday 10am - 5pm
(Seven days a week coming soon!)

Guilty pleasures are our specialty!

 
We look forward to seeing you!

2013 Victoria Day Long Weekend

What did one tart say to the other tarts?
Nothing, they're tarts!
 But they sure do look good together on a plate don't they?
 
It may not seem like it right now but summer is just around the corner and we know this because we have arrived at another Victoria Day Long Weekend. We are making baking!

Last summer ended abruptly for us and we're happy to say our mother's are both doing well.

It's been a bumpy start this year. Bill had to have surgery on his foot the Tuesday before our May opening and he's still on the mend as we enter our first busy weekend, but we'll be ready.

It was a very long cold, snowy winter here in the highlands but the snow has finally melted and we're seeing the signs of spring that make Haliburton such a beautiful picturesque place to live and recreate. Now we just need you to make it perfect!

We look forward to seeing our wonderful regular customers again and we're always thrilled when someone new ventures into our tiny corner of the highlands and makes us a part of their cottage country tradition!

Bring on summer!

This long weekend's hours are:

Friday 12pm - 7pm
Saturday 10am - 7pm
Sunday 10am - 7pm
Monday 10am - 5pm

Have a wonderful Victoria Day Weekend!

See You in April!

We would like to thank everyone who made our first ever winter opening a success.
We plan to do it all over again next year!

We have, however, decided to take some personal time and will re open the store on April 27th.

Thank you again and see you in the spring!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

It is picture postcard pretty here in Haliburton right now and this past weekend the trail was very busy. It's nice to see winter tourism has finally began with the snowfall! And it has been falling!

On December 1st for the first time ever in winter we opened The Little Tart on Saturdays and Sundays. So far we're finding it was the right decision. It has given us a chance to try some new items such as: mince tarts (of course with our own filling made from scratch), traditional nanaimo bars, rice krispie squares, and this past weekend we added creamy chocolate fudge (we'll be experimenting with more flavors as the winter continues). Some of these items will carry on in to the summer. Needless to say, it has been a sweet winter so far!

If you plan on visiting the Haliburton Highlands this winter please come by and visit us at The Little Tart, we look forward to seeing you!

Winter 2012 - Open for Business!


Is it December already? It must be time to OPEN! 

We have never opened The Little Tart in the winter, but this past summer so many people asked if we would be opening this winter we decided to oblige. Along with many of your favorites, we'll be adding a few new seasonal items as we approach the holidays. Check back for details.

Our doors will open at 9am on Saturday December 1st and our hours will be:

Saturdays and Sundays 9am - 5pm

Christmas orders are already coming in!

Keep us in mind for New Years too!

We look forward to seeing you!

A Thank You and an Announcement!

Finally, a new blog post! It has taken some time to get here, but better late then... I really don't like cliches so let's just get to it.

Aside from all the stress and chaos near the end of the summer, Bill and I had a great summer season. We're always happy to see familiar faces come through our door and of course we're ecstatic when new faces become familiar ones we look forward to seeing for years to come.

We would like to thank everyone who visited us this summer. It was, without a doubt, our best yet. Every year we wonder "will they come back" and then you do and we can breath easier. Some of you have supported us from day one, long before we became The Little Tart. We're so greatful for you because it tells us we're doing something right and it makes what we do worth all the hard work. On those really hard days when we question why we keep doing this you come through the door with a smile and encouraging word and remind us.

We would also like to thank everyone who offered kind words and well wishes during a very trying time near the end of the summer. Both of our mothers took very ill. Worse, they both took very ill at the same time. On a happy note, they both recovered and so far are doing well.

What we realized as the 2012 summer season came to a close is that we are so fortunate to have some of the nicest, kindest and most thoughtful people come through our door. When we came home and found cards in our door and phone calls from people just wanting to know if everything was okay we were overwhelmed. Thank you so much for caring.

Now to the Announcement!

Bill and I have been discussing trying to extend our season. We have had so many people ask us if we will tsay open after Thanksgiving or will we be reopening in the winter. Well, we're a little tuckered out right now, but this year we have decided to OPEN our doors beginning DECEMBER 1st so watch for our open signs on Gelert Road on Saturdays and Sundays and we sure hope you'll stop by.

Thank you so much!
Bill and Theresa

Pies! Pies! Pies!

We're doing it again! We're making changes at The Little Tart!

Cherry Pie

 You asked for pies and we've listened. It will take us a little time, but we are slowly working some new items into the store. What? Well, first of all more pies, more varieties. (Today for example we have a delicious blueberry, a scrumptious cherry, a mouth watering strawberry rhubarb and a dreamy coconut cream - all prepared from scratch of course.)


Coconut Cream Pie
We still have all of our wonderful tarts and we're working on putting more items into the store to tempt your tastebuds so come on by and see what we're up to. Your sweet tooth wont be disappointed!
