Kind Words We've Received

Hi Jenn! I was in your shop last week and bought some stuff - it was 50% off everything and I love the clothes that one of your consignors brought in!! Fromage, Appaman, Tea - I bought Emma a cute Tea outfit. I had my eye on this specific Tea design online, so I am sure that the outfit is from this year's line. I am glad you opened up your "big" kids clothes section. Paula

I LOVE the Baby Bin! I always heard about it from my friends and sister in law & I finally checked it out myself and by no means was I disappointed! I feel sometimes that I am advertising when I go to a gathering for instance, I had The Hippo placemat with my sons new stay put tray on the table for Thanksgiving. Followed by bringing out his new "snacktrap" for him to have an after dinner snack! Thanks for all you guys do! It is a great Boutique & I look forward to all the new things upcoming too!

Even though I have to trek all the way across the city to get to the BBB, I have never come back from a trip feeling disappointed. The consignment clothes are all of the greatest quality, in great condition and for a great price. Easily my favorite consignment store. And the boutique items are very cool.The staff is great too! Very friendly and accommodating, not at all ruffled if a small child wets herself or a toddler tries to claim all the stuffies/shoes/everything in the store. I've heard people complain about not being able to return things but that boggles my mind because from my own experience, the staff encourages you to learn and experience, for example, about the different baby carriers before you make your choice to make sure you make the right decision. They don't encourage you to impulse-buy like some stores seem to, they encourage you to make an educated decision, even if that means they may not make a sale. I love the feeling of moms-helping-moms that this store gives me!

I am so glad I stumbled across you during an internet search during the summer of '06. I have found so many unique, cool yet functional things that just can't be found anywhere else- I love that! And I love how you support local and Canadian businesses. Keep it up Jenn and co.!
