Amber Marshall's Country Store: A Dream Come True for 'Heartland' Fans

4 months ago

If you're as obsessed with CBC's "Heartland" as I am, you're gonna flip your lid over this news. Our beloved Amy Fleming, aka Amber Marshall, just opened up her very own country store in Alberta. And let me tell ya, it's as sweet as maple syrup on a stack of flapjacks!

What's Our Girl Amber Up To These Days?

Now, y'all know Amber's been busy playing Amy on "Heartland" for what feels like forever (and we hope it never ends!). But did you know she's got her own slice of heaven off-screen too? Yep, she's got a honest-to-goodness ranch with horses, cows, and probably more critters than you can shake a stick at!

But wait, there's more! On July 30th, our girl Amber decided to add another feather to her cowgirl hat by opening up Marshall's Country Store. Talk about living the dream!

"I know I've been quieter than a mouse at a cat convention on social media… I've been busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger working on something behind the scenes for some time now and I can finally let you in on my secret."

Amber spilled the beans on Instagram, and boy, was it worth the wait!

"Over the winter, I took on a full renovation of a commercial space. After countless late nights and endless trips to hardware stores, my dream has taken shape and I am finally able to open the doors to my very first brick and mortar Country Store!"

Now, if that doesn't warm your heart like a shot of whiskey on a cold night, I don't know what will!

Imagine walking into a store filled with goodies that'll make you feel like you've stepped right onto the Heartland set! We're talking unique threads, accessories, and all sorts of knick-knacks made by local artisans. It's like Christmas came early for us Heartland fanatics!

Are Graham Wardle and Amber Marshall Still Thick as Thieves?

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But what about Ty? Is Graham Wardle still in the picture?" Well, hold your horses, partner! Even though Graham rode off into the sunset after 13 years on the show, he's still got Amber's back like a true cowboy.

Get this - Graham and another Heartland alum, Kerry James, helped Amber whip up a commercial for her new store! Amber couldn't stop gushing about it:

"A BIG thank you to Kerry James and Graham Wardle who created and filmed this super fun commercial just the other night, and for Kerry working his butt off (in between breaking down at the side of the road) to get it ready to go for today"

And if that wasn't enough to make you say "Aw, shucks!", Graham even showed up for the grand opening! Amber shared a pic on Instagram that'll make your heart melt faster than ice cream on a hot summer day:

"Thanks @grahamwardle for snapping this photo for me!"

Well, butter my biscuit! Looks like the Heartland family is as tight-knit off-screen as they are on-screen. It just goes to show, you can take the cowboy out of Heartland, but you can't take the Heartland out of the cowboy!

So there you have it, folks! Amber Marshall's gone and made all our country dreams come true with her new store. If you're ever moseying through Alberta, you'd be crazier than a buck in rutting season not to stop by Marshall's Country Store. Who knows, you might even bump into Amy Fleming herself!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some online shopping to do. Giddy up!
