Vancouver, BC V6J 1N3

Category: Home Decor

Neighbourhood: Kitsilano

1/13/2010 First to Review

Cut out penguins for no good reason? That in itself warrants a look at this interesting home decor store. An imported mishmash of Japanese funkiness I eyed everything from purses and wooden sandals to lounge chairs and intricate wine racks.

Chinese antiques a plenty, paper lanterns, fans, those little cats with the waving arm - they're all there. But the stars of the show are definitely in the back of the house!

Come on, don't be shy or scared: climb the crickety stairs, suck in your…More »

I xoxo Does your Mother Know! It's the perfect place to get lost in after grabbing a coffee and escaping for a spell.

My only wish is that they had some sections named. When I'm just perusing, it's great to get lost, but when I've got 6 minutes on…More »

Neighbourhood: Steveston

It's like drinking Britain up from a teacup!

Sipping a spot of tea that tastes like every breakfast I can remember from the UK, and nibbling on a meat pie, I'm in the middle of high tea... in my living room. Darn, I wish I had splurged on biscuits…More »

Update - 11/19/2009

Wow! How did I forget to write about the gyros? First, I love that it feels like you're walking into another little Mediterranean world inside Minervas. I'm never sure if they understand what I'm ordering, but whatever they give me inside that big…More »

I scoured grocery stores for great olive oil at a reasonable price before I found Minerva's. When I… Read more »

I could see myself giving Mona more stars...in another universe where I have a money tree that gives and gives and gives.

Brand new to the furniture hub of Gastown, Mona offers Italian and German crafted furniture for the dining and living areas.…More »

The best part about roaming through here is flipping over the price tag, ignoring what the price reads and looking at the line for age: 60 years, 80 years, 120 years...oh, if these pieces could spend some time telling tales of their previous homes…More »

I have been a number of times, and the Richmond/ Summer Night Market vibe definitely depends on your state of mind when you make the trek, grab some parking and start your strolling.

This time I was all about the giggles as I went with a couple of…More »

You might think this is one of those hippy-incense-granola types of places, full of textiles, woven baskets and candles, but if you look past all that you'll discover two key areas: Hats and jewelry.

Well, at least that's what I found. The wide array…More »
