Although we found a few items..we did not have time to run each up to the front to "ask for the price". Not a great experience unfortunately or a great way to do business.

What a wonder of Winnipeg!…read more I had an ecstatic time looking through Doug's shop. From the outside of the shop, you can't tell by its size the number of vintage gems there are inside the store. There are beautiful, value-priced clothing and accessories from myriad decades. Doug is kind and passionate about his vintage collection, and he can tell you the story behind every piece!

I love the selection in this store . Locally made goods and cute clothes that don't break the bank…read more I bought a beautiful bracelet made from Japanese silk and up cycled one of a kind mittens. Staff are super friendly and kind. Just an update for those who like gifts that matter They are selling the cutest wooden houses in support of mental health . All the proceeds go the maker which is really amazing. They have a map of Manitoba and come with a little star so you can place your town on the map. For 15-20 dollars they are a steal and will look super cute in my kitchen. The staff said you can email the maker for custom provinces. I think they would make a great gift for a great cause.

[In all fairness, I can't really review this place since I didn't shop there.... but my boyfriend…read moregave me the most amazing present from here so I just wanted to show some love] Here's a tip for all the guys: It's the little things that count. Yes, you can show up in a flashy car or buy rounds of drinks for my friends or take me to $300 dinners... but what I'll remember in 10 years... what will make me want to stay around for 10 years, are the little things. You can make me feel like I hung the moon by remembering a special moment. My S.O did this with a trinket from Out of the Blue. It was a beautiful necklace with a sand dollar pendant. It was so special that the moment I opened it, it triggered a proustian memory and I was back to that beach in Africa. back to 2007 when he was Obama-ing it up meeting long lost relatives in the motherland and I just happened to be staying at his birth father's house while I was volunteering in the village. You know... the usualboy meets girl story. I left for Kenya and got trapped in the makings of a civil war. Passport stolen, city locked down, the sound of sirens and the smell of burning filled the air. This man, this guy who knew me not even in a biblical sense for just a few weeks took a 16 hour bus ride across 2 countries to make sure I was ok. We ended up hiding away at his cousin's beach house on a empty strip of sand in a remote village while he fed me pineapples in the day and at night I would wake up crying from memories of men with machetes burning down churches full of children. All he could do was tell me it was going to be ok. It was our morning ritual to make the only footsteps on the beach and collect sand dollars whose bodies wash up on the shore after their death. Every little sea creature skeleton wiped away a fearful memory until there were no more night mares... and after awhile they weren't marine corpses anymore but reminders that though life can be horrid, heartbreaking, gruesome, unfair, dire, terrifying, it still has the capacity to be beautiful and birth love. When I opened that sweet little cardboard box, all those feelings came flooding back to me and that necklace isn't just a necklace, but a visual reminder of a memory of the heart.

Never consign anything at this store. Give your clothing to the Salvation Army, That way you know…read morethat someone will get a benefit from an item of clothing you bought online, it does not fit, and you cannot return it. The people running this store make a profit by choosing whatever price they want for something brand new with the price tag on it, allegedly giving you 40% but after the $15.00 " transaction fee, " you really get a ridiculous fraction of the value of your item. It is a good place to shop and acquire things, however, especially used mink coats.

Called back a few weeks later and was told they didn't know us and didn't have any of our stuff. We then produced a claim number and suddenly they found our account and told us they had sold some of it. We went to collect the cheque and they told us there was no money there for us. When I reminded them of the phone conversation, they suddenly found a cheque for us. Then the owner came out of the back and literally screamed at me that I was being abusive to her employee. I quietly told her there was no need to yell at me but she continued to yell. I took the cheque and left a bit rattled. They then texted us and told us to come and collect our one remaining item and that we were banned from their store. We had no intention of ever going back there anyway. The worst retail experience ever. Would never recommend this store to anyone.

We thrift-shopped and camped our way from Montreal to Manitoba, and while I know that's not…read moreeveryone idea of a dream vacation, for me it was heaven. I love seeing what a community is discarding or donating for a second life, and I love the people in thrift stores who are all, like me, looking for a treasure, however they'll define that. And I especially love the community spirit of these small town shops where folks - mostly older ladies - are hanging out and exchanging news and giving old items new purpose and raising money to help each other out. The MCC thrift stores are I think my favourite. Mennonite Community shops in prairie towns. You have to get lucky here just like everywhere else, nothing in life is guaranteed, but anywhere you can thrift with an older community that values quality goods, and where demand is low you are going to find some beautiful things at very low prices. The Kildonan MCC is a Winnipeg example of the above, not as exceptional as the ones in smaller towns, but it's not in the city center either, and it's quite large and we did find some gems here and definitely found good vibes.
