The walls…read moreare covered with a variety of styles of paintings and prints, with local and national artists. Artwork by PEI artists Richard Vickerson and Heather Millar are just a part of what you'll find. Non-painting art includes glassworks and jewelry. These aren't basic gold and silver hoops that you'll find in a local mall, but unique pieces that will give you a personal piece that you'll enjoy for years. Prices on the pieces I looked at ranged from $30 to several hundred $, so you should be able to find something in your price range. The woman staffing the store when I was there was knowledgeable about the works and the artists, so your questions will be answered in a friendly way. Great place to make a PEI purchase.

The gallery also features select works by Canadian, American, and European artists. The owner and staff put on temporary/seasonal exhibits that are fun and exciting to attend. In addition to the two- and three-dimensional art on view, you will find high-quality crafts such as pottery, art glass, and artisan-made jewelry on display. A small amount of fine antique furniture items is also part of the gallery mix. Whenever I have a special gift that I want to give or whenever I want to treat myself, this is the first and last place that I head to, because I always find something out-of-the-ordinary at Details Past and Present.

Unique gifts, most made locally from gorgeous bamboo cutting boards and serving trays to delicious preserves, mixed spices, and other foodie delights. Of course there are other wonderful things as well...jewelery, handmade clothing items...the list is endless and it's all so beautiful, you'd think you were in a gallery - not surprising, given the quality of these artisan treasures. No matter what your desire -or that perfect gift souvenir to bring back home to loved ones (you might end up keeping them all for yourself, they're so awesome).

I was told it would be ready the beginning of May. I went in today May 16 to pick it up, assuming it was ready. It had not been touched, the staff didn't even know where it was or what it looked like. It was still in the shed where they put it back in April. What a complete waste of time. I do not recommend you waste your time by going to this business.

We have been shopping at Owl's Hollow since 2010 and we continue to do so. The awesome staff and…read moreproduct selection, the ability to custom order, and the location make Owl's Hollow an extremely attractive shop. The store feels much larger than it is with its large inventory yet maintains the community closeness that is being lost by bigger outlets. We highly recommend Owl's Hollow. Fun staff, clean, convenient, and local--all wins!

I've loved stopping in to Owl's Hollow since I was a little kid visiting PEI! The variety of toys…read moremeans that there's something there for kids of all ages! I really love the wooden toys. When I was younger, I never noticed all of the yarn, but now that I'm a knitter, it was the main thing I wanted to see. The shop has a great selection of yarn and accessories (including cute anti-slip stickers for the bottoms of slippers & the biggest colour selection of Phentex I've seen) in the back corner. On top of the great products, there's a cute little coffee shop in the front. You can pay for your coffee shop order while you're paying for your products at the main cash. We did have to ask at the cash to make an order as no one was at that counter. It was no problem to quickly bring up a guy from another part of the store to pull a shot of espresso. This is a perfect shop for a crafter with kids! The kids can look around at toys while the crafter can stay in the yarn section. The staff are friendly and easy-to-talk to with the woman I spoke to on cash also being a crafter. There is lots of parking alongside the building and you can easily spot it on the main road into Charlottetown.

We've shopped here thrice in recent years including a few weeks ago and have always found very…read moreattractive, well-made woolen products. This year we purchased a pair of hand-made wool sweaters, both really handsome in two different styles. The prices were about $200 Canadian, which we don't believe to be overly expensive given their high quality and durability (sweaters we purchased previously have held up well and still look almost like new). The shop also carries a lot of knitting skeins, which do appear on the pricey side, but we're told that similar supplies simply aren't in big supply anywhere on the island. We've chatted with the owner and found her delightful and knowledgeable about the origins of the wool in the shop. They also carry a number of other items including Scottish/Irish kilts, hats, shawls, capes, mittens, slippers and blankets. The shop seems to us a wonderful showcase for local artisans and knitters, and we look forward to many more return visits and sweater purchases.

The gentleman in the kilt also showed me their tartan store hidden away next door and helped me learn a little more about my clan and Scottish heritage! It is a wonderful store and I would recommend it to anyone visiting PEI and Charlottetown.
