Also tons of cute knickknacks like little figurines, Christmas ornaments, baby mobiles, and home decor items. They're open late, too. I could have browsed here for hours if I'd had the time.

This store is very reminiscent of the stores in Kensington Market in Toronto circa late 1990s that…read moresmelled like patchouli, and sold insense, ponchos and hacky sacks ;) There's a definite bohemian vibe to the store. Or as my husband would say "it a place for hippies." They had lots of cool sterling silver jewelry from Thailand. The prices were quite reasonable too. They had lots of earrings and bracelets in the $10-$25 range. I really didn't look at much else in the store, but they had beads, wooden knick knacks, pillows, and clothing that looked like they were from Nepal, Indonesia and Thailand, among other things. I loved these kinds of stores in my middle school and high school years, but it's not quite my aesthetics anymore, with the exception of the jewelery, because I still love sterling silver, it's the most suitable metal for my colouring. I had a great time browsing their large jewelery section. I almost bought the cutest bracelet, but it was a tad too big for me :( Staff were very nice. I always stop by when I'm in Halifax to poke around a bit, and be reminded of my style as a teenager, lol.

Not only does this location have new beautiful purses lining the walls and hanging from every direction she also carried some cloths. Her jewelry selection is very different ranging from hair clips to broaches and purse jewelry. I must say as well when I was there in the back was here clearance section in which I did not leave empty handed. I found a beautiful snake sin high sandals for summer for $20 busks. So I walked out with shoes, hair clips and a purse all for $45 gotta love it!

If I had endless amounts of money, I'd buy all of my home decor here. It's pricey, but everything…read moreis well-designed and perfectly curated for modern tastes. If my home could look like the interior of the Independent Mercantile, I'd be happy. I love the furniture, but I almost love the knick knacks even more. Door knobs, door knockers, candles, some makeup, cards, beard care kits...if you're a young professional I bet you'll find something you'll like in this store. I've got my eye on the cotton curtains they sell (at least I hope they still sell them! They did one of the last times I was in) in particular. They're beautiful designed and because they're cotton they'll last forever. *thumbs up* If you like the vibes of Biscuit General Store, you'll like the Independent Mercantile. They're very similar aesthetics, though this shop focuses on the home rather than fashion. (I think they have the same owner? Not 100% sure on that one though) Oh, they have a sale section in the back - make sure you check it out for good deals!

I love this store, in fact it is probably one of my favourites in the HRM…read more It is a combination of cute trinkets, practical housewares and personal hygiene products. Everywhere you turn there's some unique item that catches your eye. I particularly love their selection of cruelty-free beauty products by companies like Pacifica and the eco conscious products in store. The downside is the cost for me. Eco products tend to costs a ridiculous fortune. Regardless, I love this store and think it's simply adorable.

If you're looking to get good customer service, DO NOT go to this store. I recently was shopping…read morefor a new bedspread/duvet and a new set of sheets. I spotted this store and thought it would be a good idea to have a look. When I walked in, I had an older lady approach me. She seemed so helpful and eager to sell me their product. I wasn't 100% sure that what I was buying was what I was looking for. Anyways, I bought it and regreated it right away. I felt I spent too much money on it and wasn't sure I liked the pattern up against my wall when I got home. Anyways, apparently their return policy is 7 days because on the 8th day, I tried to return this (never used) and I was shut down. They literally hung up on me when I called. I was devistated by the lack of customer service. It was almost as if she was just looking for my sale....once she got it, I didn't matter. I will never shop this store again!

I have been shopping at this store for many years now and have bought bedding, curtians and even…read morepicked out some of their material and had them make curtians for me. I have always received the best service, best quality of material as well. They have been very upfront with me about their return policy so it encouraged me to take the goods home to make sure I'm happy with it and at times I have had to return or exchange things and they have always been great. I'm moving again this weekend and will head there in the next day or so and finish my new home with their stuff!!

Coconut Creek is located in the Dartmouth Crossing, it is the only location for this wonderful…read moreshop. If you are looking for that gift that has that little something extra to it, have a look around. First the store is wonderful to browse through, there were two gals working when I went in, one named Carrie and the other Kayla. Both very pleasant and professional. A nice hello to greet me and then let me have a look around. This shop is new and carries, purses, artwork, jewellery, speciality items, they pretty much have all the basis covered here. But as I said , these items are not your average. One of my favourite things that caught my eye were things fabulous creatures called Sweet & Sour Gargoyles, they are made in PEI, and are worth every penny. The average was about $100.00. The artists that make these have fantastic imaginations. I want one! This is a must have for me, it is on my list , a collapsible water bottle in lots of colours, made by Vapur. This is freezable, dishwasher safe (top rack),rolls up, stands up when full, has a place to write your name on it, this is such a great bottle, is any of my family is reading this, guess what, you are getting one as a gift. These are only $11.99, a great deal. They also have in the back of the store a nice selection of baby gifts. There is a great item there, they are bears that you insert the hot water battle or cold. This store has lots of options for you to choose from. Kayla told me that they try to support the Canadian artists as much as possible. Most of the products they seek out are Canadian made. This alone is a reason to go to the shop and support it. I want to thank Carrie and Kayla for allowing me to take a few pictures, they were great and know their product lines. :)

They change their policies mid-way through your term, leaving you to be the one to blame. Try to contact them....they will call you everything but a lier, in order to not help you. I received a letter saying that I made an overpayment of 300$, I have been in a battle with them to simply get what I overpaid for far too long. They are crooks, and unprofessional. Stay clear (unless you like paying 3000$ for an 800$ TV, with no customer service).
