We are OPEN and we’ve got the good stuff! There is one small downside to buying this excellent locally made sanitizer from @waywarddistillery though. The bottle is so pretty that I had to move it off of our front counter due to some inquiries into my pandemic drinking habits . Our hours for the next couple of weeks will be 11-4 Tuesday to Saturday, or any time by private appointment. We are currently limiting the number of people in the shop, following physical distance gui...delines, regularly sanitizing contact points and hands, getting a plexi barrier for the counter (because we love to chat and laugh with you there), making hand sanitizer available for customers, and clothing that has been tried on but not purchased will be kept at the back for 24 hours. We will also continue to offer contactless pick-up at the door and local delivery. You can see a glimpse of the gorgeous large original @christineboyerart paintings we have on our wall, as well as @pacificcoastcandles which are new to the shop. These 100% natural soy candles are scented only with pure essential oils and they are hand poured in small batches here on Vancouver Island. #madehere #vancouverisland #shopsmall #shoplocal #downtowncourtenay #comoxvalley #courtenaybc #comox #cumberlandbc #comoxvalleybc #courtenay

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone! #slowfashion #madetolast #madeincanada #linenlove #madeinbc #shopsmall #downtowncourtenay #comoxvalley #courtenaybc #comox #cumberlandbc #courtenay

After searching for the perfect button up shirt for over a decade I finally found @powerofmypeople and we now have them available in the shop. These lightweight linen button ups are incredibly well made in Vancouver and have the best fit! I love the versatility - wear them tucked in or out, sleeves rolled up or not, buttoned up or open - and they are great for sun protection too. We are currently open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1-4 (physical distancing in the sho...p and only one to two people in at once) or any time by private appointment. Contactless pick-up at the door or local delivery can be arranged by email: [email protected] #slowfashion #madetolast #madeincanada #madeinbc #perfectbuttonup #downtowncourtenay
