Dots & Loops

This place is the bees knees! I feel like they climbed INTO my brain and made a store with everything I could want!
From jewelry to finger puppets of Louis CK and Liz Lemon. They try to keep things as local and canadian made as possible… But sometimes it is worth heading to the states for some cool pieces!
This is just one of many reasons for heading to Lunenburg, unfortunately I usually end up spending more than I ever expected but I have never regretted a purchase! Amazing selection and unique pieces! Love this south shore gem!

YES! This awesome shop will keep you entertained for a while — it’s like an art gallery with affordable things to buy (many of which are useful things, too). Not only is if full of fun gifts for yourself or for others, but the shop supports local artisans. All items are labeled with which degree of locality: Nova Scotia, Canada, US. Why buy crap made in China to bring back as a gift when it’s so easy to find amazing items here, made proudly in Nova Scotia and Canada?
Added bonus: even my husband enjoyed being in this shop! The layout was great, and the music not loud enough to chase anyone away. That’s a rarity!

This store is such a beautiful reminder that we don’t need to buy mass-​produced, made-​in-​China crap at big box stores. Everything in the store is the antithesis of that and it gladdens my heart.
There are so many great handmade products, mostly from Canada, and many from Nova Scotia. Just go there. Or check out their photo albums on facebook to see new arrivals.
I mourned the loss of Love, Me Boutique in Halifax, but the hole in my heart has been filled.

i love this store! there are so many neat and unique items, i usually end up spending more money than i had intended! even when i go in looking for a specific item, i still have to take the time to wander around and look at all of the new and fantastic goodies! =)

This little gem reminds me a lot of both Inkwell and the much missed LoveMe boutique in Halifax. Local artists coming together under one roof to sell their wares. Everything from letter pressed cards that make you wish you had a million friends to send snail mail too to funky ass unicorn belt buckles to sweet little wind up boxes that will have even the burliest man squeeing like a small child and clapping while saying «again again».
Taking a little tour of Lunenburg? Make this one of those must see stops and while you’re at it pick me up a card and send it snail mail!

Fun store to browse and check out handmade things. I didn’t find anything when I visited though that I really wanted. I enjoyed looking around though and do recommend that you visit to check out things.

What an incredible store and a great find. Beautifully and simply curated, this store is sure to inspire you and tempt you to spend all your money in one place. Love the 3D prints by Yo Rodeo!

Just. YES.
After a day of shopping the south shore, inundated by stereotypical ‘maritime’ crap that I just can’t get down with, I almost let out an audible cry of happiness when I walked into this brand new addition to the Lunenburg scene.
The modern, open and bright space really let the products on the shelves shine rather than forcing customers into an awkward stumble through overpacked aisles of random nick-​knacks. Within seconds of seeing all the inspiring and adorable prints, handmade pillows and stuffed toys, quirky greeting cards and stationery, and tons more, I knew I was in trouble.
Much like a similar store in Halifax (Love, Me Boutique), I just wanted it all. And that’s okay… because every purchase helps support a legitimate local artist or crafter which makes me feel MUCH better about gift-​giving than just picking up your average mass-​produced ‘Authentic Nova Scotian’ anything. Besides, there were so many great products available for less than $ 20 which makes it easy to do some damage without having to hate yourself for it later.
I will absolutely be back. Hopefully soon and often.
