The store offers a nice selection of women's clothing, accessories, jewelry and some gift items. We took our time browsing through the store since there was so much to see.

I heard her tell a customer the lines on a top she had tried on were wrong for her body type. She brought a different top and wow what a difference. From frumpy to elegant. The fashions are surprisingly forward, too. I bought jeans two years ago there I saw this year in a Neiman's catalogue. A great experience. Go.

There is a toque for every sense of humor and practical person. My dates newly purchased sock monkey toque is a real winner. I, however, chose a more fashionably practical little number to match my favorite winter coat. There's more, there are trendy, updated versions of the Canadian Lumber Jack hat. You know the one, fur and flaps abound. The classic old man caps and cute Paddington Bear type for all ages. And let's not forget the owner. Cool as a cucumber playing the best of 60s acid rock, surrounded by a vast selection of all things Volkswagen. Ahh, to be of another generation.

The market is right when you departure the Nanaimo ferry terminal. It is really annoying how this…read moreferry terminal is much nicer that the one in Vancouver.

Parking is $$$ and is one of the very few ferry terminals in which you have to pay for.

I told one of the sales women (I think she was the manager) over and over that I didn't want to try on a certain item, yet she brought the item to my dressing room and hung it on my dressing room rack anyway (are you kidding me?!). I eventually bought an item that was too snug for me and took it home, only to have to return it after I came to my senses. Now I have a store credit I have to use (no refunds) so I will have to go back, if only to use up the cost of my folly listening to someone who was only interested in selling me something, not whether or not it looked good on me. Thank goodness for one of the other sales consultants who ran interference with the manager, so I didn't have to tell her over and over - No, thank you. Once should have been enough. I have heard the same thing from other women who have shopped there.

The owner is an eclectic lady who has created such a unique store with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling treasures.

My daughter loved the store. I purchased something. We came back to eat near there and I went down to look again, store was closed but mentioned the one up the street. So again I brought my daughter. She loved some cat ears so she was holding them til we were ready to buy. I even said don't let us walk out without paying, as the store has a lot going on and I didn't want to forget. We went to the other side I noticed the woman behind the counter (not the one from the other day) had just happened to come up there and was looking around. My daughter found a purse she wanted to match the ears but before we could go swap the ears, the woman asked me and ONLY me, "was I done yet" I said no I'm not she proceeded to say "okay well I'll hold those behind the counter till you're ready". Are you kidding me? The ears were $5 the purse was $15. This is not "valuables". It rubbed me the wrong way completely and if my daughter wasn't so happy with them, I would have left the stuff and walked out. It left a bad taste in my mouth. You implying I would, what, steal? In front of my 5 year old daughter? Really disappointing.
