It's so important, as a homeowner, to have a great hardware store in town. Lunenburg Hardware is a…read moregreat hardware store. While not as big and well-stocked as Gow's in Bridgewater (LH doesn't even try to stock the kind of seasonal and housewares items that Gow's has), LH has a good selection of all the hardware basics, plus a few very special extras. They've got a fine, if small, chandlery section, if you need to work on your boat. And they sell Benjamin Moore paints and are truly experts in this area. I don't go anywhere else for my paint. Most importantly, this store has the best staff ever! They are helpful and knowledgeable, especially the ones who have been there a decade or more. No matter what project you're working on, the established staff members like Sandy, Elaine, Ron and Ronnie can help you figure out what you need. They also (I just discovered) have a very nice website.

I cannot Yelp enough about this place! This lovely little shop on the Mahone Bay strip is a must…read morego! Girly Girl that I am I was immediately pulled in by the pink signage and the call of beauty products. Once I got inside I was amazed by all the wonderful stuff!! Soaps that look like slices of cake and cupcakes, unique scents of whipped body butters, and bath scrubs that are a consistency I have yet to see. They are firmer and don't make a mess when you use them at all. Now for the service and packaging! The owner is lovely and took the time to wrap all of my treasures in cupcake holders with gumballs and ribbon. It was such a nice touch to finish off the bakery theme that runs throughout the whole store. I highly recommend stopping in here. The owner tells me a Halifax store is coming soon just off Spring Garden. I can' wait!!

I've only actually been once, but it was enough to make me swoon. I mean...I've been following them on social media for ages and have drooled over their photos, but now that I've been inside, yep, it's love. I love that just about everything in the shop is made in Canada, and there is so much love for local Nova Scotian artists too! I could have bought a car full of goodies - Rifle Paper Co journals? Adorable prints? Jewellery dishes shaped like woodland animals? And then the jewellery itself that is just so gorgeous, it's hard not to want a little bit of everything. The store is packed full of goodies in every space available, but it doesn't feel cramped or crowded. The set up is perfect for browsing in a crowd (even though I was there in the off-season). I can't say enough about this charming shop! I can't wait to go back.

Just. YES. After a…read moreday of shopping the south shore, inundated by stereotypical 'maritime' crap that I just can't get down with, I almost let out an audible cry of happiness when I walked into this brand new addition to the Lunenburg scene. The modern, open and bright space really let the products on the shelves shine rather than forcing customers into an awkward stumble through overpacked aisles of random nick-knacks. Within seconds of seeing all the inspiring and adorable prints, handmade pillows and stuffed toys, quirky greeting cards and stationery, and tons more, I knew I was in trouble. Much like a similar store in Halifax (Love, Me Boutique), I just wanted it all. And that's okay...because every purchase helps support a legitimate local artist or crafter which makes me feel MUCH better about gift-giving than just picking up your average mass-produced 'Authentic Nova Scotian' anything. Besides, there were so many great products available for less than $20 which makes it easy to do some damage without having to hate yourself for it later. I will absolutely be back. Hopefully soon and often.

This is a cool little interior design shop that has hit a beautiful middle ground between east…read morecoast inspiration and beautiful modern day design. More for that signature piece that will make a room pop than a full-package, you can browse through these few rooms full of treasures with no idea what's around each corner. From a carousel horse from the 1930s, to incredible local art, there are goodies a plenty for just about any taste. Prices can vary from obscenely high to university dorm affordable so long as you know where to look! I was surprised a handful of times and proven I'm a terrible guesser when it comes to the cost of local wares. Sometimes a gorgeous art print would be under $20 and then a pillow would be $70+. The lesson here is: don't write anything off until you check the price tag. You never know when you might be treated to a really pleasant surprise!

My sister and I visited this shop in July 2018, lunch napkins and candles were purchased which…read morelater were not needed. Unopened and still in original bag. I drove there from Dartmouth an hour and half drive. The intention was to refund the products with original sales receipt within the 30 day timeframe offered on the sales slip. Upon arrival I was informed I was not in the timeframe to bring a refund. After settling the 30 day timeframe I was then told "well the owner is not here I am not authorized" then after about half hour of waiting I was told they dont ever do refunds I could get a gift card or exchange. I was not interested in that, cash refund would be fine as it was paid by cash. Bottom line I did not get a refund and was forced to exchange the 50.00 sales slip for other product. Not very good as a business practice, at the very least if no refunds are ever offered it should be stated on the sales slip. Buyers beware !!

Locally made candles by the spectrum, there are oodles of sizes, colors, scents and styles to choose from. I've got a vintage holder for taper candles that I am constantly needing to restock, and Light My Fire had a great variety to pine through. Yummy scents to sweeten up any room and the option to customize your own candle make this spot swoonworthy. The concept of "candle" is pretty open to interpretation here, and so many local makers pour the utmost creativity into their products. A find spot for gifts, and candle lovers will rejoice. I did a little stocking up during my visit and love knowing that places like this exist!
