Lyndale Accents is a very quaint shop in the Crestwood neighbourhood that can be easily missed. It…read morerecently moved spots to a larger location in the strip mall, fortunately. Lyndale Accents carries a wide variety of fun, practical, and beautiful gift ideas for the home and for children and adults. There are seasonal items, jewelry, greeting cards, and items for bath and kitchen. Most of the trinkets are small, but with large pricetags. There is a return policy with receipt (although I can't recall how many days you have), which was fortunate for me when I bought a decorative bookmark for a family member who did not care for it.

I am a minimalist when it comes to my home decor, so this store turned out completely useless for me. It was fun to browse though. There are picture frames and vases, figurines, clocks and jewellery, candles, plates and coin purses as well as hand bags and cute kid items such as books and little shoes. The selection at Lyndale Accents is indeed eclectic. It is geared to women, so ladies, make sure to shop here without a boyfriend or a husband who, chances are, will be bored and end up whining and ruining your shopping trip:) P.S. Customer service was nonexistent.

I have found items for the tea and coffee drinks, cute salt and pepper shakers, table cloths and napkins, and a variety of other knick knacks for the kitchen. I don't browse much at the pots and pans and plates but the smaller cute stuff I love. One time I picked up chocolate sprinkle coffee topper for Christmas gifts. Another time, it was a tea set with an assortment of 3 different types of teas for less than $5. I also picked up a gift of a purple tablecloth and matching napkins. Great place to go when looking for a gift and prices are reasonable too!

I can see myself returning whenever I need to buy a special gift for a special someone. As a matter of fact, I did already. I got my mother a glass touch lamp with owls on it. She loves it and uses it as a night light for when she needs to get up in the pee hours. You know what I mean. They've got many themed collectables besides just Bradford. There's Disney, Night Before Christmas, Elvis, Classic cars, Betty Boop and other collectables I don't know how to name but recognize all the same. The prices are sometimes high, but we are talking about collectables. I collect dragons, and not only did they have a nice selection, but I found them to be fairly priced. I've paid more at other stores. The owner is a sweetheart. She likes to chat, but she's not intrusive. She doesn't hover. Honestly, I'm going to shop there whenever I need a gift, because I want to see this place stick around. I recommend you at least check it out. See if you can't find something for yourself or someone you love.

I have likely walked by this store many times and never walked in until recently. Each section is organized for a theme, including Elvis, Betty Boop, dolls, Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, and more. We were asked if we needed help but we were just browsing and the staff left us alone after. Prices of the items can be a little pricey but they offer unique items that you likely can't find in the mall. This is a great little store to find a gift for an unique person!

Everything you could possibly want! This country store is…read morebig city elegant. There are literally thousands of items for sale that would rival Homesense and all your other favorite home decor and gift shops. Many of the vendors are local. They supply the knitted and crochet goods, soaps, jams, pickles, eggs, meats and cheeses. The seasonal decor is awesome. They are full on Autumn! I can't wait to see their Christmas display. At the back there is a cafe. Barista on duty. Muffins and baked yummies for sale. Small seating area. The deck out front has some nice seating. We probably could have sat outside on a sunny day like today. The yard is nicely decorated as well. Pumpkins and scarecrows.... There is plenty of parking. You can visit on your way home from the West end corn maze.

Anthropologie is one of my favourite stores in West Ed! I mean where else can you go to find…read moreclothing, decor, housewares, toys and books in one spot? The store makes me feel like I've walked into some wealthy lady's dressing room. Clothes everywhere. Lingerie everywhere. Decorations everywhere. Kids toys. Housewares. Every time I go in I just want to lounge on the settee and have my servants cater to my every whim. OK, back to reality. As mentioned, Anthropologie is a hodge podge (I mean that in a good way) of clothing, decor and books. The clothes can be a bit over the top but the closer you look the more likely you'll find something of interest. The cool thing is they also have kids toys and housewares. It's almost a one stop shop. Another dose of reality is their prices. They're on the high side, but like many things in life you get what you pay for. Often times you can find the decor items at a better price, but by the time you find (if you even do) you'll likely have spend that much in time and effort. If you have eclectic tastes go here and have a feast of eye candy.

Downsides: the primary staff member I spoke with about an ottoman wasn't overly friendly and definitely wasn't helpful, but the young man who lent me his measuring tape was a gem. I also found the "ambiance" of this place to be a bit yuck- the lighting was a strange shade of yellow that I think was raining on my parade. Overall I think this is a pretty great place to peruse for new household items and decor, and the prices are always great!

This shop is a good mix of well-lit vendor booths filled with antique, vintage and reproduction items. They sell a decent variety of paint and hardware if you're looking to up-cycle your projects. For all you do-it-yourselfers out there, we saw a really nice selection of tin ceiling tiles and barnboard available! I always feel nostalgic looking through the vintage stuff from the '70s. Both of us spotting different items and laughing, "hey, do you remember this?" There were several booths that had "sale" signs up offering 10-20% off of all items in that booth. Keep your eye out for great deals. Hubby scored a working toy machine gun (with original box) for 20% off! The lady I spoke with (the owner?) was chatty and very nice. This store obviously had a lot of regular & loyal customers as she seemed very familiar with a number of patrons in the store. This is a perfect Saturday stop for a leisurely stroll down memory lane, and the chance to bring home a piece of your childhood. Bye until next time!!!
