This is a cool little interior design shop that has hit a beautiful middle ground between east…read morecoast inspiration and beautiful modern day design. More for that signature piece that will make a room pop than a full-package, you can browse through these few rooms full of treasures with no idea what's around each corner. From a carousel horse from the 1930s, to incredible local art, there are goodies a plenty for just about any taste. Prices can vary from obscenely high to university dorm affordable so long as you know where to look! I was surprised a handful of times and proven I'm a terrible guesser when it comes to the cost of local wares. Sometimes a gorgeous art print would be under $20 and then a pillow would be $70+. The lesson here is: don't write anything off until you check the price tag. You never know when you might be treated to a really pleasant surprise!

My sister and I visited this shop in July 2018, lunch napkins and candles were purchased which…read morelater were not needed. Unopened and still in original bag. I drove there from Dartmouth an hour and half drive. The intention was to refund the products with original sales receipt within the 30 day timeframe offered on the sales slip. Upon arrival I was informed I was not in the timeframe to bring a refund. After settling the 30 day timeframe I was then told "well the owner is not here I am not authorized" then after about half hour of waiting I was told they dont ever do refunds I could get a gift card or exchange. I was not interested in that, cash refund would be fine as it was paid by cash. Bottom line I did not get a refund and was forced to exchange the 50.00 sales slip for other product. Not very good as a business practice, at the very least if no refunds are ever offered it should be stated on the sales slip. Buyers beware !!

By January I hadn't heard from them so I dropped into the store to find out whats going on. I was rudely spoken to by a women at the desk saying I'd cancelled the order.....SAY WHAT?....I hadn't cancelled ,she then said I ordered through the web site & that that wasn't them....??? I showed them my printed confirmation saying Gow's Home Hardware.....after some arguing I had a manager assure me it would be cleared up and I'd get my order in February....I received the Dish washer in March, I'm supposed to receive the refrigerator today, 6 months after needing a new fridge....Would I buy from them again???? Would you?

I'm new to Nova Scotia and until the other day, I thought customer service people, without…read moreexception, were kind, friendly and helpful. The other day, I entered the store and asked a tall, older, grey haired woman behind the cash if they have any sewing kits. She pointed to a kit hanging right across from her and 1 look at it tells me don't buy it. Terrible quality and contents. I then walk around the store looking for thread and needles (1st time in the store). No one is around to ask for help although I'm really nearby the woman at the cashier. I choose what I think I need (turns out to be wrong) and while I'm waiting to pay, I see a selection of sewing kits on a table near the cashier. Why didn't she point these out as well? Perhaps, she was having a very bad day. It just left me annoyed and surprised.Good selection of fabric though and other supplies, not so much for just regular sewing needles, it seems.

There's remarkably good selection at this store in spite of their limited space.

Basic fabrics are well-represented, especially quilting fabrics and upholstery/drapery fabrics, as well as all the accessories and equipment one needs. There's a small but good selection of general craft items, paints, glues and beads. Best of all is the staff. With a few exceptions, the staff are knowledgeable and very, very helpful, and the manager is outstanding.

I've only actually been once, but it was enough to make me swoon. I mean...I've been following them on social media for ages and have drooled over their photos, but now that I've been inside, yep, it's love. I love that just about everything in the shop is made in Canada, and there is so much love for local Nova Scotian artists too! I could have bought a car full of goodies - Rifle Paper Co journals? Adorable prints? Jewellery dishes shaped like woodland animals? And then the jewellery itself that is just so gorgeous, it's hard not to want a little bit of everything. The store is packed full of goodies in every space available, but it doesn't feel cramped or crowded. The set up is perfect for browsing in a crowd (even though I was there in the off-season). I can't say enough about this charming shop! I can't wait to go back.

Just. YES. After a…read moreday of shopping the south shore, inundated by stereotypical 'maritime' crap that I just can't get down with, I almost let out an audible cry of happiness when I walked into this brand new addition to the Lunenburg scene. The modern, open and bright space really let the products on the shelves shine rather than forcing customers into an awkward stumble through overpacked aisles of random nick-knacks. Within seconds of seeing all the inspiring and adorable prints, handmade pillows and stuffed toys, quirky greeting cards and stationery, and tons more, I knew I was in trouble. Much like a similar store in Halifax (Love, Me Boutique), I just wanted it all. And that's okay...because every purchase helps support a legitimate local artist or crafter which makes me feel MUCH better about gift-giving than just picking up your average mass-produced 'Authentic Nova Scotian' anything. Besides, there were so many great products available for less than $20 which makes it easy to do some damage without having to hate yourself for it later. I will absolutely be back. Hopefully soon and often.
