  Update - 6/5/2011

I was looking for a herb blend for grilled chicken for a mini dinner party and walked into the store to get some suggestions. The lady on duty was so patient in talking me through some options and i got to 'sniff test' some blends.
I settled on the…More »

I love this store!
It has all the accessories you need for semi-sophisticated entertaining. Reminds me of a nite ala Mad Men (on AMC).
There were so many things i wanted to buy...too bad I don't live in the TO! But i may have to go back to grab the…More »

This store is misleading. I've walked by it dozens of times and never bothered to venture inside until today, when someone in front of me opened the door and it looked nothing like the outside

The name...makes it sound like a clothing store…More »

I was posted to work in Toronto for a couple of months and was seeking a good pilates studio. I'd only ever practiced Pilates back in SF at Blue Sparrow, so I was a little anxious to find a really good studio with nice, easy-going but attentive (read…More »

Interesting vintage fabrics remade into new dresses, skirts, tops. I like it on the shelves and hangers (and the sales ladies), but it's not really my style.

However, it'd look great on others.

Service: the 2 ladies working on 7/9 were so friendly…More »

I like this location, store layout and ambience.
Good, basic, products with clean design. It isn't avant garde or even trendy but it's great for the basics and the prices are right
