A charming new shop in my favourite location of Oakville. You're instantly drawn in by the window…read moredisplay, so many eclectic items in one place, an etsy lovers dream. 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.

Nowadays, they're more busy and the checkout lineup is much longer since we're getting closer to Christmas and everyone is either buying gifts or decorating their homes.

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.

Located inside a cute heritage home, Cork House is a niche store deep inside a newly developed area…read moreof Oakville. This retail space inside of a home, tucked behind a new strip mall focuses on, what else but cork! Think: Coasters, wine bags, fabric (who knew?), clothing, shoes & purses like you'd see in Portugal, & flooring. The primary reason why anyone would visit, I'd think, is to check out the cork flooring. That's why I was there! Salesman was very friendly and informative about his product. He even let me sign out a sample piece of 1' X 3' slate of flooring. I haven't priced out their competition, re: hardwood or even laminate, but the piece I got was $5.15sq'. I'm undecided, but I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're even thinking about installing cork flooring! You'll be surprised by the results which are actually installed all around the house itself.
