The most unlikely circumstances can lead to the most delightful surprises.  A 100-year-old farmstead on a narrow dirt road in the quiet rural community of River John, Nova Scotia, Canada is a case in point.  This is where Mabel Murple’s Book Shoppe & Dreamery is located. The weathered old farmstead has been transformed into a riot of colors and shapes.  It’s the perfect blend of old and new; traditional and unconventional; expected and unexpected.  It’s a joyful place and a delightful surprise!
