I came in for a present for my sister's birthday and had a very hard time not buying something for myself! I absolutely love the chunky knit hats and scarfs, they have adorable cabin socks with sayings printed on the soles, and hand made jewelry galore, even some super chic lingerie. Perfect place to come in with a coffee in hand because you'll be browsing for quite a while with so many pieces to look at. I would highly suggest coming in for presents as you will find something unique and not cookie cutter. The shop owner is awesome and very friendly, love supporting local talent.

They have a good range of lower-end to very high end products. You can customize your furniture to meet your needs. For tables you can choose leg style, size, colour, etc. For couches there are tons of styles and an overwhelming amount of fabric choices. There are also lots of bedroom pieces, dining cabinets, chairs and bar stools. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. I've asked them some pretty detailed questions and they've been able to help me every time. Their prices are already very competitive for the quality they offer and they usually have even better discounts on their floor models. The current promotion is no tax on certain pieces. If you're in the market for new furniture, I highly recommend visiting Joshua Creek.

When the staff saw us looking through the book they helped us, but not in a pushy commission-earning sort of way. We ended up not finalizing our order elsewhere, as Joshua Creek was extremely helpful in helping us match chairs to our server and dining table. They not only explained how the ordering worked, but looked at our samples to suggest the best way to ensure we were able to match our maple and cherry furniture to our new chairs. The great thing too was we did not have to waste time and haggle on price. We had price shopped the Handstone chairs in numerous places and pricing varied greatly, and we were offered an extremely competitive and reasonable price right away. Our chairs arrived and were excellent, except for one. The stain and grain was substantially different. Joshua Creek took this as an opportunity to earn our loyalty in the future. Not only did they acknowledge the issue, but they picked up, sent back, and re-delivered a proper and fixed chair. In this day and age I find stellar service is hard to find, and it was great to have this taken care of. Although 6 chairs is not a big purchase compared to what some may buy, I appreciate they treated me as a valued customer and went above and beyond. I was extremely impressed to the point of deciding to write a review. I will certainly come back, if not for the quality then for the excellent customer service offered. I feel confident buying at a place like this which stands behind what they sell instead of simply taking your money and making you deal with concerns. The friendly and knowledgeable staff made it a great experience.

I popped into this Anthropologie on the weekend while roaming lakeshore. Similar to other reviews,…read moreit's definitely a window shopping kind of store for me. I compare it to browsing a book store because there is so much to look at here. Clothes, accessories, housewares, books and stationary. I personally love the style of clothing at this store. It's certainly on the pricier side however if you make your way to the top floor and head to the back they have a pretty extensive sale section. If you are like me and like a good deal, they have tons to choose from. I like the design and layout of this store, it's big enough that we could social distance while browsing. In terms of staff, it was difficult to figure out who was working and who was shopping. I didn't need assistance but if I did I wouldn't be sure where to turn. I noticed this time visiting there was no one manning the door to count capacities, but I know they have staffed for this in the past. Overall if you're in the area and want to browse funky clothes and housewares, go ahead and try Anthropologie.

Im not sure how Anthropologie does it but they seem to score a lot of gorgeous historical buildings…read morein high traffic spots to set their stores. This particular location is quite large for a suburban downtown and has that heritage feel. Love how it's an old re purposed bank. For those who love festivals, bohemian lifestyle or style, or just looking like you fit in with other native Californians, this would be your store. Everything here is carefully curated and presented to give you that desire to look and be inspired by the beautiful tropics. Like the website, the store has that refined luxury vacation vibe... it also needs the price tag that goes with it. I have to give credit to Anthropologie... though they do follow trends, they are not limited or hop onto every single new instragram trend. They do stick to the same image of the carefree glam girl. I also feel that they dont quite take their store sizing to petites like me. Their normal dress length makes me feel like a kid... I think you'd need to be at least 5'7" to be making these long flowy dresses and skirt work. For the clothing itself, I found most of designs simple and basic but their prints and colour scheme is what keeps them unique. Vivid and bold, all of them stand out ... especially against the millennial dusty pink trend of late. When I was there, it was bold sienna, rusts, splashes of turquoise, or saffrons. If you want to be carefree and yet catching looks... good spot. I will say their white fabrics... sheer. So if you want to buy a white dress, you'll probably need to get an extra lining. The other thing about Anthropologie, the price point is notably higher than what you'd see in a mall. Simple short dresses start at $120 and the nicer ones are above $250. How carefree is a $250 free flowing dress? ... probably not what I was expecting. They also carry a lot of interesting skincare and house ware to keep you browsing for a while. I saw some nice brands like Farmacia, and Tocca. I would have been extremely impressed if they had RMS or lanolips are those are harder to find in Toronto. For Oakville, this was a step up seeing how there isnt a Sephora nearby. As for service... I didnt really see anyone except the lone person behind the counter. On a Sunday afternoon, it was quite empty ... store and service. No one was there to greet anyone or help people find sizes. Though to be fair, I've never been in an Anthropologie with a proactive service staff. Usually you have to hunt someone down or find someone in the change area to help you. Oakville seems like the right demographics for this spot ... maybe if there is a sale, it might be more reasonable for some to afford a cute low key dress but for now, I'll just continue browsing.

Had some time to kill before a showing, so I stopped off at this tucked away Homesense in Clarkson…read moreVillage, re: home of the old White, sometimes rich, people! Size-wise, this Homesense was not as impressive as the ones that I've been to at Bathurst/Centre (Thornhill) or even Vaughan Mills. It's on the smaller size, HOWEVER, the benefit is that it's waaay quieter than those other locations. Actually, it's probably even quieter than any Winners that I've been to! The location definitely has a part to play in that "been transported back in time" feeling. There's no sense of urgency or rush, just relaxation. I had a question about what was included in a package of bedding - it wasn't stated on the label - and the sales associate, who was doing something else at the time, actually went to another associate to find out for me. Who does that nowadays? If I were in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here 'cause I don't like shopping in crowded places.

The TJ Maxx line of stores have always fascinated me…read more The three brands - WInners, Homesense and Marshall's - have made their trade in being a glorified clearance store for many low and mid-range brands, and this location in Clarkson is no exception. I'd argue that it's the perfect fit for the Clarkson community, as it accurately sums the sleepy, docile nature of the community. I ended up coming here to kill a few hours and get in on some late Boxing Day shopping after the New Year, and was extremely surprised to find that half the store was on clearance. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that a good 40-50% of the goods on sale were either marked with tags or set up on "Clearance" endcaps, which was extremely amusing considering there was SO MUCH of it still on display. $2 packs of PUR gum, dirt-cheap Christmas and designer decorations, all sorts of weird food items for pennies on the dollar... makes the mind boggle with how much product is back there that they struggle to sell it all even with 80-90% discounts. One thing I'll definitely give the store credit for is that it's generally very quiet, the service is prompt, and you're generally bound to find something you want, whether it's a weird knick-knack or a book that interests you. In the end, we ended up buying a bunch of themed Christmas foods (including peppermint bark coffee liqueur and chocolate candy-cane shaped shortbread cookies), along with some odds and ends. I find I like visiting here every time in the area. Despite it's similar layout and product offerings as Winners (take out the men's/women's fashion and you have Homesense), the service and selection put it a cut above. Definitely a worthwhile anchor store in Clarkson Village Plaza.
