Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you source your items?
Everywhere & Anywhere! I enjoy the treasure hunting process and the DIY challenge so I have collected my special gems over short and long term from Thrift stores, Antique Stores, found items, tossed items, gifted items etc! I also enjoy making items and reusing/blending items together to create a one of a kind piece. My finds come from all across the Maritimes, NL and some beyond.
How do you price your items?
I have spent years familiarizing myself with brands, makes, ages, and uses for items. I use online research such as Google lens, EBay, Etsy, Poshmark, Reddit, forums, Vintage Bloggers and more to learn about the items I source. Then I add in the rarity, the age, the condition, the effort it took to find and bring the item back to life and I come up with a fair price for each unique treasure!
What makes your shop unique?
I was born to reuse & create! My family has always been hands on DIYers, thrifters and I have loved Fashion and Beauty for many years now. I started my Beauty/Lifestyle Blog in 2014, I am currently attending The Institute of Makeup Artistry and I have completed a course at George Brown College on Colour and Wardrobe. I have also spent the last few years modelling and creating content for multiple local businesses and boutiques. All while learning valuable behind the scenes fashion and style information from the business owners and employees!
All of this to say, I’ve got an eye for treasure and a flair for fashion that allows me to bring special pieces into your life!
Where do I find sizing information?
Sizing information will be located under each specific item. Please review carefully before purchase and reach out if you have further questions.
Do you offer Returns or Exchanges?
Unfortunately due to being such a small shop, with very low profit margins we cannot offer returns or exchanges at this time.
Please make sure to double check your order before confirming purchase and we have some ideas for you if you decide the item does not work out -
* Gift to family or friends! We often hand down children’s items but we need to continue to do this through adulthood!
* Host a clothing swap! I have personally hosted a clothing swap with friends as well as attended some and they’re a great time.
* Resell on Marketplace, local pages, groups, consignment stores or websites such as EBay, Etsy, etc!
If you have gone through the options and are still greatly unhappy with your order please reach out. We are so thankful for every purchase and truly want our customers to feel their best and leave happy.
Where are you located, do you have a physical shop?
We are located in Nova Scotia, Canada. We do not have a physical location, so unfortunately cannot offer try ons or browsing collections in person at this time but we do hope to host occasional Pop up events and will be attending local markets where you can shop live and in person!
