During a recent stay in Hope, and first walkabout of the downtown area, daughter and I found a new…read morestore located in a very familiar to us location -- formerly 'Cat's Meow', it was now 'Kerfuffle Creations'. The shop was closed when we first 'discovered' it, but open on a next day walkabout, and a chance for us to get inside, and catch a first-hand look at the offerings. We received great service from the host tending the store at the time we were there. She provided very friendly, informative, and accommodating help to all the questions re: what we were seeing. We came 'so close' to capturing a couple of crafted figures. We resisted this time -- thinking, the store's new, selections are so minimal -- let's wait a while until the shop and its offerings 'mature' a touch, and we get back for another look.

We were familiar with it's "sister" store in Harrison -- seeing the original store was a first-time experience for us. I had already settled my sights and shopping on some items in the Harrison store, so this stop was really only a quite short, drop in, and take a peak browse. Glad to have had the opportunity to catch a view -- it's a small, and rather cute little gift shop -- the offerings geared to, or appearing to cater more to 'local' customers, than their shop in Harrison.

I was happy to see some favourites: Locomotive, Smoking Lily, East Van Jams, Element Botanicals, K'Pure Naturals and Goldilocks beeswax wraps. It really feels like all of the items are selected with care by the owners. This place is just what Downtown Mission needed. I will definitely be back.

I'm pretty sure you could spend a whole day in here and still not see everything!! It's a small store front but there is such an incredible selection (and good pricing!!!!) The tarot selection alone is incredible. If you don't know if the stone you saw on the internet that you desperately need is rose quartz? They will tell you!! You don't know the difference between tarot decks and oracle decks? Just ask! Everyone is knowledgeable (in different realms) and very kind and helpful. The readings are quite incredible too. I've had very powerful readings with both Adam and Jordan (and they let baby readers practice on them!!) There's just so much here I can say enough good stuff about it!!

A small shop located within Harrison Village Mall - a strip-mall of stores and eateries, located…read morejust off the main street in Harrison. It's a rather cute little place, with many offerings to entice a visitor to buy something to take back home as a souvenir of their visit to the area. They have a quite decent selection of non-fiction books: on mostly BC-related topics, and always a selection of the latest covering Sasquatch ("Bigfoot") and related topics -- clothing: a very good selection of high-quality, printed t-shirts and sweatshirts, in sizes ranging from baby to adult, designs and colours, from 'fun' to quite beautiful -- and other gifts and souvenirs: keepsakes, tourist, and other 'stuff & such'. This past week's trip and stay to Harrison Hot Springs saw us come back home with another fine t-shirt (to join others, and books purchased there on past trips). Quality products, friendly service, and always well-worth a stop and browse - we really like Serenity Now!!

I snuck in here just before close today at 4pm. I felt a bit rushed. There were so many new things to see. As I was leaving, a very well dressed lady asked me if the store was closed, I said yes. She was very flustered and disappointed and said these opening hours don't make sense, during the holiday season, especially for shoppers who work full time hours during the week. I agreed with her, it doesn't make sense to close at 4pm on a busy December weekend. Especially in today's economy. You would think they'd be open till 6 or 8 at least. So today you lost two customers who were ready to spend a lot of money. I hope you consider extending your holiday hours. A lot of shoppers from District 1881 (most of those stores are open till 8) also head down to Wellington Ave and Mill Street at the same, only to find closed shops.

Daughter and I did a couple of shopping / browses here during our stay in Harrison last week…read more When there the first time, daughter spotted and called my attention to some jigsaw puzzles featuring art works by Indigenous artists. One puzzle that especially caught our eyes, featured art of Richard Shorty. It was entitled 'Garden of Hummingbirds', and showed several of his creations against a white background. I had seen several of these hummingbird pieces when viewing many of Richard's original paintings and prints in person (at art shops). I knew this one was a very different kind of puzzle from the many others I have purchased over the years, would add nicely to the daughter's collection, and when completed, would look lovely framed. In my mind, it was a must buy. She was thrilled upon receiving the puzzle, and looked forward to completing it. And yes, definitely planned to frame and hang it.

Re: some 'Padraig Cottage Slipper' memories…read more I saw a sign in the window of 'Blue Dandelion' during last week's stay in Harrison, which indicated they sell 'Padraig Slippers'. Seeing the sign triggered memories of the pair I purchased there, as a gift for my lady, during a stay in Harrison back in April, 2019. To quote from the 'tags' attached to the slippers when purchased -- the Padraig Cottage slippers are ... "made in Canada by hand, using 100% sheep wool, sheepskin, and leather." My lady has truly-loved and enjoyed wearing the pair she received. And from personal observations, I know they have been worn very often, and have stood up to all the wearing well. It was good to see these wonderful slippers are still being sold there. Maybe a pair for me when in Harrison for our next stay?
