A young fellow working the day I first went in gave me sound leads on gift ideas for a specific person -this service alone was above and beyond! I had a sense of the needed elements, but this fellow was able to point me to phenomenal options I hadn't known existed! Also, when I elected to return (unopened) one of the items I had purchased, the owners honoured their policy without hesitation or comment -they were entirely pleasant, courteous, and lovely. Finally, the recipient of the items I kept was thrilled with the gifts! So many people don't seem to know about this place, saying we need to travel to Kelowna for toys. Not so!

What a GREAT gallery and studio. We were walking by and it was closed but the owner happened to…read moredrive up and asked us if we wanted to come in. She was so friendly and let us wander around. We liked a lot of the art in the studio. It's a bunch of different artists as well as art classes. Jenny, the owner, had some great information and stories about some of the different artists. We ended up liking a print of a horse. Jenny said she could get it shipped to us in Texas. After some back and forth texting, she did! We purchased the print and it was shipped safe and sound to our home in Texas. We love the unique art and we will always stop by this gallery to see what is available. Great art and great customer service!

Wow. This is QUITE…read morethe store. If you love books, this is a must-visit. If you like books, this is a should-visit. Either way, prepare to get lost in the aisles and prepare to spend a LOT of time here. And I mean A LOT. I really liked how well organized this store is. For all its thousands of books, each section is clearly marked, with excellent signage. While I wandered, my kid read an entire Oliver Sachs book (it was a short memoir). I found some killer coffee table art books. One in particular was a stunner, and oh so big, with incredible color plates (it was on photorealism, and was an impressive tome). The inner flap showed it originally sold for $125. The price here was $50. So....not for nothing, despite being a used book. But substantially less than when it was new. FYI. There's a huge section on popular novels and classic literature, both softcover and hard cover. I am certain these are much more reasonably priced. From the banter I heard between the cashier and some customers, I gather that a lot of regular locals shop here, and they are very familiar with the employees. I like that feel, of a local shop where they know their neighbors. This is a mesmerizing store, and a place you can get lost in - in the best way imaginable!
