Over the course of my trip, I purchased a linen blouse and linen shorts. Unfortunately, shortly after I got home, I suffered some quality issues with the two items. I contacted the owner and she was able to help despite some time having passed and me not being able to drop in to show her the items. Overall, a very pleasant experience - I can't wait to go back to shop in person! Minus just half a star for the quality issues, but the customer service was simply exemplary.

I was tempted by the heart shaped spoon but there was only one left so I didn't get any. They ship across Canada which is great. There are many small things which can be good for wedding flavors or as swags in events.

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.
