There is a huge variety of items, and they're all beautiful quality. During my most recent visit, I purchased a bracelet, a map print, and vegan deodorant, so that gives you just a small idea of the different things to check out! Free parking is available just behind the store. There is also a little free library shelf near the entrance, where you can take and leave a book. Love it! Can't wait to come back.

The Been Garden has just celebrated 2 years of business in OEV. Kandice is the owner and she does a…read morefabulous job of bringing together a wide range of local handcrafted product. It's a craft fair that never leaves! It's wonderful. Things I have purchased there include hand cream, stickers, jewelry, chocolate, hot sauce, cloth diapers, decorative pieces, mugs...and all of it locally made. I've seen clothing, Pokémon themed stuff, crochet animals, air plants, wooden creations, coffee, dog treats and collars, baby gear, greeting cards and the list goes on and on. You will no doubt find something unique and one of a kind here. And you will be supporting local and that's a double double win.

She had an excellent selection of yarns and wools from the lower cost to the higher priced lama and wool types. There was a quilting section and well as a general crafting area. I was impressed with the selection of needles, and hooks. I like a local shop like this where I can just pop over when I run out of thread or need advice. That being said I am from out of town and was vacationing for a couple of days at a local inn. I liked this place better than Mary Maxim, in the future I will be including it in my yarn runs.

I saw this store on my way to the OYE at The Hood. Friends know that I sew my own clothes and…read moreloathe shopping, so something really exceptional has to catch my eye in order to get me make an apparel purchase. And catch my eye it did! They had the cutest watermelon skirt. I've wanted a watermelon outfit since I was a toddler. Not sure why I never sewed one for myself. Today being Canada Day (YAAAAAY FOR CANADIANS NEW AND OLD! We are the most welcoming country to people of all backgrounds, lifestyles, gender identities, languages and religions!), the store isn't open but the website is. Highlights: 1. Free shipping over $25 (not sure if that is a time-limited offer) or you can pre-pay and pick it up in-store. 2. Comprehensive size chart that tells you how to measure (so needed and yet so rarely done well). 3. Generous, easy, clear return policy. Put the free return label on the package, get it to Canada Post and you are done. 4. Wide selection including lingerie, jewellery, accessories, aprons, leggings, scarves and special occasion dresses. I'll post about my watermelon skirt when it arrives!

It is a well…read moremaintained store with frequently updated products and it ranks highly on my important antiques market rating system...the antiques:junk ratio here leans heavily to the antiques side. Well...antiques and high quality vintage! There's few old McDonald's toys, milk glass chickens, and Art Deco vanities to be found here (although if those are what you're looking for, they still exist at Memory Lane! Just not in the quantities found elsewhere). What tips Memory Lane to the 5-star scale is the supreme selection of high-quality teak and mid-century furniture and accessories. Several of their vendors have exceptional Danish and Nordic designers featured with new upholstery and professional refinishing. While the items are pricey, they are beautiful and fairly valued for their excellent condition. I was surprised to find all of this in London and it's a gem if you're into the "Mad Men" style!

This place has a LOT of inventory, from Grandma Victoriana to Mid-century furniture and decor, random board games and children's toys. Prices also varied - we saw the same stool, both similar condition, being sold for $26 from one vendor and $90 from a different vendor! We also saw a lot of restored Mid-century furniture in great condition, I would have taken a dining set home if I had room to jam it in my apartment. I will definitely return next time I'm in London!
