Love this store! If you need or are looking for any decor items, speciality gifts, local items…read more(including sweets!) and/or an assortment of older or antique items or furniture, this is your place. There's even a small cooler with unique drinks in the corner. I started following the shop on Instagram ages ago. So I was thrilled that they are close to my relocated area. The first time I was in the shop was honestly to only grab flowers to brighten a friend's day. Yet, I ended up walking out with an assortment of things - ribbon tape, soap, some candles, hand cream, Edmonton trivia cards, etc. Small but unique or local items always makes good gifts! I love so many things in this store and recommend this place if it's gift giving items you're looking for or even the extra self love/care items. I've shopped here for gifts that I felt I could further customize for friends and family or add to a group gift to enhance the selected theme. The staff is always very helpful when they see me looking at the displays or carrying multiple items (I walk with a cane so I appreciate their concern of I can hold onto something for a time). I've even suggested this place to others to stop at when they come to Edmonton as it's a very pretty store just to pop into quickly for future inspiration. Most recently I've bought myself bouquet filter to fix my seasonal bouquet (sadly the seasonal element to a Christmas bouquet was severely lacking from a different store - people let this be a lesson on you get what you pay for). The ladies suggested some items I wouldn't of even thought to consider or ask for. Some really cool red berry looking thing too. Happily I can report that adding those suggestions plus what I wanted together with the flowers I already had resulted in an amazing amount of virtual complements during the holiday. Plus I got what I really was looking for - that real tree smell in my little apartment! I recently had to reduce the filler in my vase to only the pine. So I can confirm their product lasts a good amount of time or longer than expected. I've brought multiple bouquets and floral items from them in the last couple of years and everyone I've gifted a bouquet has said the same thing. If I could give a 4.5 I would as seriously this place. It truly is a great as a store and the shop for the most part is arranged to give a lots of space to move around. This was before only a few people were allowed in at a time (covid restrictions). They even have the most lovely shop dog. Hand sani out at the front and easy to read signs. It's honestly the parking lot that makes it go down a point. As someone that is mobility limited, I don't enjoy the real life game of frogger. Especially in winter amongst cars entering quickly off the corner of Whyte ave and 96 St into the uniquely shaped and noticeably slopped parking lot. To make things really challenging for drivers (and shoppers trying to get to and from cars), there's one access point parking lot. Lots of times you see people backing up further into the lot or back on the street to get another car out or into the parking lot. So drive with caution, especially when reversing. Yes, there's a handicap stall and a few other spots near the door but that's usually the first to be taken. Especially if it's a long weekend. I don't mind trying to challenge myself from time to time with walking distances but it's the slope in the parking lot that personally makes me nervous in winter due to my lack of balance. The unique parking situation is not the shop's fault. One assumes from the look of the building, the footprint is definitely from the older days. Do keep in mind if you choose to park there, that the lot is shared with Earth's General Store. As you can imagine, being connected to a small and unique grocery store creates a very busy parking lot with usually few people waiting to go inside (due to limited number of customers allowed at one time). So if you can bike, bus or walk over, I would recommend it. Bike rack is located along the dividing wall that leads to the sister store of Maven and Grace. Bus stop is literally as close as you can get for a bus stop on Whyte Ave. I have also noticed the last few months a lot of people parking in the Humpty's lot across the street or along the other side of Whyte Ave (so not to be in the bus zone) and walking over. All in all, the shop itself is awesome to find that perfect gift or brighten your own day with something a little special.

Checked out Maven and Grace today for the first time and I'm super impressed!…read more I found out about this store from one of the products they carry (Worthy Jams....delicious! Check them out too!), and I will definitely be back! When you walk into the store, it's just so beautiful! The products are nicely displayed, it smells wonderful and the prices for items are fairly reasonable. It's not just a store with a bunch of local knick knacks, but they have some unique kitchen supplies, chocolates, body care, beard care, jewelry, etc. I picked up 2 PLAYin CHOC which is like an organic kinder surprise. It's dairy, nut and plastic free and the little toy inside is either an endangered or woodland animal. When I open them, I'll post more pics. And also picked up 2 Karat chocolate bars, and oh my....are they ever delicious! They're a company out of Kelowna and I'm a new fan for sure! They're Pineapple Upside Down is scrumptious and then we also got the Milk and Cereal bar. Both are amazing! If you're in the Whyte Ave area, definitely check out Maven and Grace. A beautiful boutique store with lovely items for everyone!

Visited today after not having been there in a while. I really enjoyed myself and was able to take…read moremy time. I found the entire place to be very well lit. I don't know if in general the lighting in the entire building has been improved or if that was just individual booths and vendors. It was pleasant not to have to watch my step and not stumble over items placed on the floor. Booths were tidy and clean and offered many different items. Items were fairly priced for a variety of budgets. Even though shopping baskets were available I was able to bring my found treasures to the front counter to be held for me while I continued browsing. The young man who checked me out was friendly and carefully wrapped my purchases. I highly recommend checking out this antique mall!

I have been to this market several times and the service is just aweful. The older lady who works…read morethere lacks care and attention to detail. A couple of months ago I asked to wrap a few plates for me to take home, she did but refused to wrap them with bubble wrap or something and didn't pack them properly. I got home 2 km away with a broken plate. This week I went to the market looking for salt/pepper shakers. The market didn't have any bags/baskets to carry items around so I left them at the front. Long story short my items were sold to another person without his or my consent (included in his bill and he didn't realiZe). After confronting the lady, she was super rude and her apology wasn't really an apology. Her comment to me was "this isn't an upscale place or the Bay". I have been involved with antique shops all over Canada for over a decade and I have never encountered such disorganized management with such a bad attitude. I had also never had any of my items, kept at the front, sold to another person. While the items in here can be great I recommend caution with the staff, they just aren't prepared to handle a professional business.

If you're into farmhouse antiques you will have to drop into Chickie's. Helen, the owner, is a real…read moresweetheart and can't wait to show you around her two-room shop. It's filled with beautiful old, romantic farmhouse furniture, some of which has been fixed up by Helen and her husband. There are stained-glass windows, wardrobes, dressers, rocking chairs, dolls, cashmere sweaters, sheep hair pillows, and much more to discover. I'm not much of an antique shopper, so I'm not sure how the prices compare to other places. Some of the smaller items seemed quite affordable and a giant wooden table was about $2,500. Helen told me she also rents stuff out to movie sets when directors are looking for farmhouse/country decor, so the items you buy may have a doubly fascinating history.

The Old Strathcona Antique Mall is a fun place to check out if you're around Old Strathcona/Whyte…read moreAve. There's free parking lot for patrons, which is a bonus in this area of Edmonton. They are the largest antique store in Western Canada, and so there is a lot to see here. From vintage license plates to toys to furniture to everything in between (and then some). I like coming here just to browse and see what they have. The Old Strathcona Antique Mall is filled with different antique/vintage vendors so trying to hunt down a particular item can be hard, and might be in more than one spot. That said I've been on the hunt for vintage travel postcards from specific destinations I've visited (and there's a particular style I want). Postcards are in several different spots so when I come here I try to go through them all. I've done pretty well on my mission, but there are still some destinations I don't have. Oh no that means I have to go back to The Old Strathcona Antique Mall, probably pretty soon.

I've been shopping here for a quite a few years now, including at their former downtown location. The owner and her staff have done an amazing job making the space feel like a welcoming treasure hunt. They always happy to offer suggestions if needed or allow you to browse on your own. Since everything here is one of a kind, I have my best luck when I'm not looking for something specific. The price range is extensive - you can find regular priced dresses for $50 but they also sell some luxury designer items for $1000+. Truly something for everyone. If you're looking for a deal, I recommend keeping an eye on their social media and looking out for their blowout sales.

They have a lot of vintage designer shoes and clothing, fur coats, wedding dresses, just so much good stuff. Do yourself a favour and look in the drawers and bowls to find even more stuff. Earrings and lace gloves and mirrors. The hat selection is amazing but it's the shoes that bring me back from manolo blahnik, to Dior. My favourite purchase from there is still 80s cowbow boots that I get compliments on every time I wear them. I love the owner Angela, she is really open about where she does her collecting and is a super interesting lady. A chat with her and a gander in Swish always a treat.

Fun LARGE home decor store located in the 124 street shopping area…read more Popped in here for the first time the other week while completing the 124 Street Red Shoe Crawl and absolutely fell in love with the store. From hand shaped book ends to the neatest hooks you'll ever find to keep your keys safe (did someone say squirrel?) to funky house numbers, Henry's is your place! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere bright, cheery, and full of natural light with huge floor to ceiling windows. They also carry a selection of furniture and had some fabric swatches so I'm pretty sure they are customizable. Can't wait to go back and add to my unusual hooks collection!

What a street party! Many many unique decorator items, furniture, lighting, art, even some really really nice clothing at fair prices! Nicely laid out vignettes of furniture, and the staff were quite gracious and helpful considering how many people were in the store that night. Depending what you are shopping for, you will want to spend some time exploring all the corners nooks and crannies for nifty items. I was particularly fascinated by the selection of hooks and LED lighting. The challenge with this neighbourhood is the parking, it's limited, and frequently you will need to resort to paying for either a meter on the street or in the Impark lot behind MEC. The bridge construction has been difficult for businesses in the area, and now the development going up kitty-corner to Henry's PFT will add to the challenge. Leave yourself some time, make a trip out of it, stop for a bite to eat and you will have a more relaxing visit.

If you like garage sales, this is the place for you!…read more I don't know too much about antiques so I don't really want to judge this store based on the quality of antiques (because I wouldn't know). I can tell you that it reminded me of a huge garage sale. And who doesn't love a good garage sale?! I found a beautiful chess board for $80 that I considered buying but talked myself out of later. It was gorgeous though. I also found a beautiful old antique trunk. It was really nice. I wouldn't have anywhere to put it though so I didn't check the price. They had a lot of different things to go through. From Elvis pictures to old Coke bottles, to wood carvings - there was a lot of stuff. I put up some pictures because I think they show the store a better than I can with my words.
