Shortly after, Karin the owner arrived and between the 2 of them, I had exceptional service. Wonderful range of clothing, excellent quality and well-spaced so you can easily look at the pieces at your leisure. And a great soundtrack playing in the background made for a fab visit. Looking forward to my next visit....

This is a great little consignment shop tucked away on Waterford Bridge Road…read more On our last trip into St. John's, we were staying just up the street from this little spot and on a walk into town, decided to pop in the door. Immediate danger zone - within two minutes of walking in, I had found two pairs of shoes in my size (8... usually impossible to find in consignment) and a dress that turned my head, my cohort in crime found a cashmere sweater for $40 and my mother chirped from each room about one thing or another. It's a great selection of stuff, with some great brand names behind it - they obviously have a good eye for what they select. It's also well laid out over two stories - well lit, clean and packed without being cluttered. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth poking your head in to see what you might find. As far as I could tell, it seems to be only women's fashions but I may have missed a section while I was shoe hunting through the store.

If you can walk past a place named The Boobie Trap and not NEED to stop in to see what lies behind…read morethat name... well friends, you are a stronger person then I. I knew it was a lingerie store, but from the name, I was expected to be walking into a place full of hilariously crass underthings. I was pleasantly surprised that this was far from the case. This place carries a good selection of high end lingerie. They stock some of my favourite European brands and introduced me to a few fun new lines that I wasn't yet familiar with. Between this place and Le Boudoir further down Water St, there's absolutely no excuse to be walking around in boring lingerie. Whether you want to drop the dough on a well made set (and you should, it's definitely worth it), at least pop in here and get a proper fitting. The folks are super friendly and you'd be amazed by how wrong your current sizing may be. Every lady should have at least one lingerie set that makes her feel like superwoman and this place is definitely a possibility for your future superhero bras.

In St. John's (in their current location on Water Street), I found the Newfoundland Crafts Council store and had the pleasure of visiting it a couple times during our stay here. The selection did not disappoint, as I came away with a nice forged letter opener from the Green Family Forge (Trinity) and a nice St. John's house magnet from Northeastern Folk Art. I could have easily done more "damage", but it was early in our trip and I needed to pace myself.

Judge your time well and give yourself opportunity to check out all that there is on the various floors. It is very easy to get stuck in an area of the house which contains all manner of wonderous things - and then you lose all sense of time and before you know it you've spent an hour looking at the rug hooking kits and have less time elsewhere. True story! Happened to a, uhm, friend of mine.... Perfect place to get a gift for someone away. Or for someone local. Or for yourself. Follow them on Facebook. They have a wonderful page which introduces you to not only the art, but the staff and artisans who create this amazing space. http://www.facebook.com/craft.council.5?sk=wall
