If you or your beloved are into Country Styled home decor, for sure you will find little decor and household items to decorated your home or as gifts. The store though pretty small, they have a great selection of seasonal gifts.. so it is always fun to drop by to browse around during X'mas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Summer and Fall.... Candlelight and Memories also functioned as a Victorian Tea room serving English Tea in nice China... Now this for sure a little taste of quiet country living in this hectic world.

Let me start by saying I always pronounce it wrong. I keep referring to Papyrus as "Pay-per-us!"…read more I finally asked a store clerk and she said it is "Pa-Pie-Rus. Easy enough to remember since I'm a dessert lover and PIE is right up there! A family member got me hooked on Papyrus greeting cards. I would marvel at the intricate and artistic details of each beautiful card. The envelope itself is impressive, and most include specialty NIQUEA.D seals. They also come in cello sleeves to protect your purchase. These cards are pricey!!! While you can definitely find some for under $5.00, I find the majority of their cards are in the $10-$15 range. Yes, for one card! Considering the rising cost of greeting cards these days, I only buy them to celebrate special moments in life: weddings, newborn babies, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The people that I give them to are collectors. They admire, appreciate and keep them. I have been keeping greeting cards for decades. I also purchase the cards when they have promotions, such as buy 3 get 1 free, or 20-30% off. If you enjoy fine art and exquisite greeting cards, this is the place! * All visits were pre-COVID closure

There are different special moments that an Ecard or a Text is just not good enough! All the cards here are all nicely made, not like what you get in dollar store or Walmart! They do have "Buy 3 Get 1 Free" specials. Definitely worth getting a few in case you forgot that special anniversaries or birthdays! The store is really spacious and fun to browse!

What sets then apart is that even with there volume of business, they took the time to carefully prepare my roses, complete with baby's breath and fillers, and wrap the package with some lovely wrapping.

I chose this particular florist because of the positive google reviews and the close proximity to…read morethe funeral services at Holy Cross in Richmond Hill. Went into the store, and with the help of Shae, decided on the Exquisite Tribute Spray which I was told was one their most popular arrangements. For an additional $50, we chose the deluxe ($230), over the standard ($180), as it would have a fuller appearance with the added flowers. Took some extra time and care in choosing the wording for the sash/banner as well as the card/note saying who the flowers are from. The following afternoon, when we arrived at the funeral home, we felt a huge let down when we saw the finished product. The arrangement had many White Carnations and Chrysanthemums (Filler Flowers) and very few White Roses (Premium Flowers)....As for the White Lilies, of the several that were present, only 2 were actually open, the rest were not even close to blooming which left the entire appearance very underwhelming. It was vastly different than what was pictured on their website and what I saw in the store just the previous day. What added to the overall dissatisfaction was that there was no sign of any card/note saying who the flowers were from. These were purchased on behalf of my aunts, from the old country, who find these details very important especially on sad occasions like this. If the service was longer than 2 days, we may have brought up our issues to them in hopes that they may be willing to improve and correct matters but there was no time. Although others have had positive experience(s) with this florist, we unfortunately can not say the same. The expectations set by the positive reviews along with the added expense were definitely not lived up to. Missing the mark on execution and attention to detail is why we will not use or recommend this place in the future.

Valleyview is a huge garden center that houses the most plants I've ever seen in one area. They've got everything for your gardening needs. I've been picking up my flowers and herbs for a couple years here. They've always been great quality, bloom wonderfully, and just generally healthy happy plants (anything contrary to that is because of user error). I also love their hardware. Such pretty pots and vases. Once in awhile, they have pretty good deals. They had a bunch of potted herbs for about $2.00 at the beginning of this summer. We also picked up a bonsai on sale. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable so even though the center is huge, it doesn't feel too intimidating.

The staff are amazing; so friendly and helpful (shout out to Giancarlo for gardening tips), while the selection is mind-boggling! We spent over 2 hours and left with plants we couldn't find elsewhere, like Birds of Paradise, bougainvillea, blueberry cherry tomatoes, broccolini, and so much more! We bought a blueberry bush last year, and the berries tasted a bit sour, but Valleyview has several varieties, like Jelly Bean! We ended up getting 4 different bushes! We spent several hundred dollars, and returned a few days later to pick up more items! I had to urge my husband to stop - lol This is definitely our go-to place from now on! Notes: - Family-owned & operated since 1970 - Super busy, especially on weekends, so parking will be tight/limited - Washrooms available
