Aside from a good thrift shop, yarn stores are my favorite for a treasure hunt. Noma did not…read moredisappoint, at all. Wonderful selection of yarns, notions, gifts, etc... So many sample projects which I find very helpful being a novice knitter. Best part about Noma are the folks who work there. Jude was so kind, as was the lovely blonde lady.

Go get a Froze' at Sigh ( frozen Rose') beforehand, makes for guilt free shopping!

It's an immersive, sybaritic experience taking in their well curated stock. I instantly wanted a gorgeous virgin wool throw in a softly muted plaid and all their heavenly bath products and brushes. The scent of bergamot, lemongrass and geranium fragranced the shop and I couldn't resist the pull of luxury bath salts and a few other small items like Advent calendars and art cards for handwritten notes. The owner was delightful and knew her stock very well. I found everything to be well priced for the quality.

When I'm in a new Town, if there's a local Arts Guild Shop, I'm there. Some of my best gifts or…read morehome artistic flourishes have come from such Cooperatives, with notable places including Barcelona, Edmonton, and Spirit Lake Iowa. And no matter where I go, I find the selection to be varied and unique, the quality high, the prices reasonable, and the background to a particular piece to be fascinating. I also feel good about supporting local artists and truly feel that such places are the best gift shops in Town. This time around, I bought a beautiful ceramic table piece. It has a distinct shape, stunning red colouring, good heft, and a nice feel to the touch. It was designed and crafted by Beverly Prevost, who I had chance to meet a few minutes later at La Haye Are Center next door. The Guild member working the Gallery was friendly and informative, and I didn't mind helping her figure out how to work the credit card machine.
