This store has many really unique and interesting items that are worth the trip to the store. I shop for gifts here every chance I get because I know they will be something fun, useful and special. The owner is incredibly nice and is willing to help you in any way she can. It is also amazing to support local artists and businesses so I definitely recommend shopping here!

Fantastic shop ... friendly owner, great little local gems, tourist treasures that are not the run of the mill items you can get anywhere. The shop is full and small, but there was enough room to get around.

This was a lovely store. So many souvenirs and things are made in China hardly something to remember a visit to Nova Scotia. The lady in the shop was lovely, she even offered us one of her grand daughters cookies. What more could you ask for?

It is a very small shop located on the Main Street just on the edge of the downtown core. Parking is available on the street, but they have parking meters, which you pay Mon to Friday.
The store has a terrific selection of good, consequently being rather small it is rather cramped on the inside. They have the usual touristy things, but also jams/preserves, knit wear, etc.
I don't enjoy the usual tourist traps, but actually enjoyed browsing through this place.

This wonderful store has everything - giftware, home made bread, preserves, and so much more. The friendly and knowledgeable owner and staff make you feel right at home, helping make choices while not being pushy. I love this store!!!

This store is really packed full of fun and unique items. I regularly shop there for interesting gifts. Some are a little touristy and tacky but some are wonderful made by amazing Nova Scotian artisans and artists. There is a great variety of items. Very good prices.
One thing to watch....Out of shopping there at least 10 times I experienced the person/owner at the till make mistakes on prices and change about a third of the time. I think she is just very distracted as opposed to dishonest. So just make sure everything is calculated correctly.
