Not only does it carry gorgeous local art from some of my favourite artists, but they also do workshops and classes. I believe the post them on their website, but I heard there's a book binding one coming up that I would love to go to. When I went last weekend it was because I wanted to meet Amy of Friday55 (one of my favourite local artists) and I ended up learning how to do some embroidery while there. It was really lovely! The Lunenberg Makery was also there showing how to do felting, but I ran out of time to learn that one because I was loving embroidery so much. I think I've found a new favourite hobby. The Trainyard General Store is one of those stores that is completely community-oriented, and I adore it. It's a bit hidden on Portland Street, so a keep an eye out for the sandwich board pointing you in the right direction.

These candles are hands-down the best you will smell. They are the only candles that I buy now, and…read moreI currently have seven lined up along my shelf. It's hard to limit myself as the scents are amazing! It's hard to pick a favorite, and as soon as I think I've narrowed it down to two or three, Bobbi-Jo comes out with new, fantastic scents! It's not just about the candles, though. The sugar scrubs are to die for. I'm one of those people who stock piles different shower scrubs/gels/washes to try but I have to say that hands down these scrubs are the best I've ever tried! It's the perfect amount of exfoliate, smells amazing, and made my skin feel amazing. I've also tried and enjoyed the Roll-on Perfume and the Body & Linen Spray. The scents aren't overpowering and are perfect for an alternative for room spray. The scent clings to the fabric for a smell that lasts for days! And to boot Bobbi-Jo is super nice and sweet!

Located at the Seaport Farmers Market in Halifax, this booth is laden with Soy Candles and lotions…read more I was looking for something specific though and when we started chatting the owner said she could customize anything. She handed me her card and away I went. The only way I know of to contact her is via email at: nytewicks@gmail.com Back to my story. I emailed her on Monday with my request and on Sunday I picked up my custom scented body lotion. And it is awesome!!! And I thought that 14.95 for an 8oz bottle was very reasonable. If you have a penchant for candles (I smelled them all and they are lovely) or a body lotion, you should check her out!

So I went back in this morning to grab another deal on my email- first I asked if they had any of…read morewhat I was looking for- they said no- what ever is left is on shelf. The person that said no was readjusting everything in the shelf and the products I requested, once I looked over at the shelf were staring him right in the face-poor. Then at cash I asked if they had the wall plugs I wanted and she says no none left as the sake was over. I got home and double checked, called back and the woman who answered said they did have them and the sale was still on until today- wow! Double check your products and information please as this left a bad taste in my mouth from just yesterday! Won't be back for a bit now as customer service can make or break a purchase and a good review!

We saw it from the main road, and just dropped in.

The Market is certainly not a "centre d'extortion". Funny though. Rick and Michelle, along with…read moreHector (RIP), and everyone else involved in the early days, human or otherwise, were nothing short of awesome. Forty plus years of awesome in fact. The new owner is equally as cool as Rick, although there is no canine presence, which is probably a good thing in the PC world we seem to live in now. The new store is completely different from the old Market but also quite the same. You can still buy papers, bongs, flags, t shirts, pins, buttons, and much more. Records are back too, in a big way, and there are even turntables available (not always). Remember, this isn't 1985, and this isn't the flea market. The prices reflect that. Get over it and enjoy yourself inside this gem of a shop, and bring your blunt smoking/record buyer friends too.
