I had previously really liked this store although it is a bit higher priced in comparison to some…read moreother island antique stores - and it has really a great selection of items. But on my birthday August 2023 I treated myself to a reproduction horse statue that I later realised I was way overcharged for, as in, I paid $250 and the item is all over ebay for as low as $30. I won't go back there and gave the item away as I didn't even want to look at it anymore. I had regrets at the time even for paying so much for an item I couldn't afford, but now realising I can't even sell it and get my money back is a real disapointment.

Incredible store! A must stop for anyone that loves old thing. Beautiful selection of Pyrex,…read morecameras, furniture, typewriters and much more! Only complaint is that there wasn't any records but I obviously didn't need any. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Victoria!

Yes, this store is awesome! It is absolutely worth the drive up the Malahat to get there. Her store…read morefront is 2 stores in fact. She ordered stuff in for me, AND her selection is excellent. She carries French Dressing jeans, pants and tops (and all sizes). She has plenty of Simon Chang pants and jackets. (She ordered 2 jackets for me). What else can I say? She has dressy wear like Joseph Ripkoff, Frank Lyman, and more. She carries pretty cruise wear like Tommy Bahama and she has petites for us smaller gals. What else can I say? I have been in the store maybe 4x and I have never been disappointed. Her clothing is first quality, pretty and I would say competitively priced compared to what things are priced in Victoria. It is worth the drive!!!!

I've noticed a handful of one-star reviews mentioning the owner is rude. That is disappointing…read more I love shopping here. The owner is an eclectic lady who has created such a unique store with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling treasures. I've shopped here for years and always find a cool or unique scarf for myself or gifts for friends and their children. Everyone loves them! Should the one-star reviewers check themselves? Maybe. I am grateful to have a special store like this to pop into and I know I will always leave with something beautiful.

I came to the smaller store the other day with my daughter which is on the dock and had a wonderful…read moreexperience. The woman working the counter was so kind and friendly. My daughter loved the store. I purchased something. We came back to eat near there and I went down to look again, store was closed but mentioned the one up the street. So again I brought my daughter. She loved some cat ears so she was holding them til we were ready to buy. I even said don't let us walk out without paying, as the store has a lot going on and I didn't want to forget. We went to the other side I noticed the woman behind the counter (not the one from the other day) had just happened to come up there and was looking around. My daughter found a purse she wanted to match the ears but before we could go swap the ears, the woman asked me and ONLY me, "was I done yet" I said no I'm not she proceeded to say "okay well I'll hold those behind the counter till you're ready". Are you kidding me? The ears were $5 the purse was $15. This is not "valuables". It rubbed me the wrong way completely and if my daughter wasn't so happy with them, I would have left the stuff and walked out. It left a bad taste in my mouth. You implying I would, what, steal? In front of my 5 year old daughter? Really disappointing.

I often feel that the lines on sale here have been hand-picked, just for my lifestyle. There is a country influence, one that "fits" the everyday experience, and also dramatic choices for evening events. The Victoria location joined with the Sidney store, and you will be glad you traveled out here, or caught the ferry, to choose your next special clothing choice. Worth it!
