Who needs to travel when they've got it all right down in Manotick Station?! Kidding. But I do love the concept. Each fall, this family returns from their travels and lays their accumulated goods out in a big barn for us Ottawans -- for a very limited time. I've been coming for five or six years and, while the merch isn't always that different from year to year, I always find stuff to covet and take home. Particularly the beautiful dishes and sweet earrings. I get a big kick out of the international assortment of Christmas decor, too. Flying Santas? Santas with chicken feet? Yes please. This place gets jam-packed, so go early or suffer the crowds. Also, bring cash! There are stands set up outside where you can sit and eat Thai food or bring home cider, apples, and fresh pies (which I've totally passed off as my own in the past. Don't tell.)

Here's the weirdest thing about @Home that I can come up with. Try to find it on the web. I've…read moretried countless times and I get the feeling it's the "@" that messes the whole thing up. I'm glad I took a picture of this place so at least I have proof that the place exists. Outside of its inability to be found in any Google search that I've tried, once you step into @Home, you're in for a decent time. @Home is a kitchenware store with a large assortment of different items that you can use in the kitchen or dining area. The items range from the strictly utilitarian (e.g., spring form pans - nothing fancy there) to the imaginative (e.g., elegantly shaped wine decanters). If you're looking for some interesting décor add-ons for your kitchen, or looking for something to theme your next party, this is probably a good place to start. It's not just the variety, but the quantity of items that is also overwhelming. There's tons of stuff that you can go through and, if you're so inclined, it's pretty easy to kill a half an hour in this little shop. Add to this it is an independent store and not a larger chain, so if you're into helping out the smaller business, this is a great store for you. Just don't try to Google your way there. Just get to Earl Grey Drive and look for the place in the picture.

They have new 'reproduction' items, but they also will bring in re-purposed, new and vintage finds. (I found the most extraordinary lace knit crib blanket in there on one visit - was thrilled!) Yesterday I found old folding measuring sticks. The store is fun to poke through and the staff is helpful but also willing to let you browse. Would I return: Yes Would I recommend: Yes

Turns out, no one was working who knew how to cut glass and they were unable to do it. Then I got a bit of attitude from a couple of employees when I asked for my frames back. They should have asked me to either come back another day or it would take a day or two and to come back and pick up the glass. Either would have been fine. No one apologized, no one was sympathetic. I actually just asked for a quote and they disappeared into the back with my frames. I think I'll take my business to the new Rona that just opened nearby.
