As of January 23, 2021 Winnipeg has lifted the Code Red Critical restrictions on retail as part of Manitoba's Pandemic Response System for Covid-19.

​

This means that all non-essential retail is open to the public with capacity restrictions and maintenance of safety protocols we have all come to expect within public spaces.

We are open by appointment only and our online calendar is accepting bookings for shopping at this time.

 

​

As of December 12, 2020 Winnipeg has extended the Code Red Critical phase of Manitoba's Pandemic Response System for Covid-19.

​

This means that all non-essential retail and services are closed until January 8, 2021.

An amendment to this order included the reopening of thrift stores and retail that offers used goods.  As a store that specializes in secondhand we have considered the intention of the order in addition to the current public health orders and designed a plan to open.  The details of our reopening will be released tomorrow on social media and we will update the information here as well.

We are scheduled to reopen in a very limited capacity on December 16, 2020.

​

 

As of November 12, 2020 Winnipeg has moved into the Code Red Critical phase of Manitoba's Pandemic Response System for Covid-19.

​

This means all in-store visits have been suspended.  We are not an essential service and will not be taking appointments or offering any in person visits during this time to ensure the effectiveness of the lockdown.  We will be taking this time to work on our online store and up date our online information to create accessibility to our inventory and information about services you can access in the future.

​

Email is the best way to  contact us as there will not be any staff on site to receive phone calls on a regular basis. Consignors can go the the Consignor's Access Portal page for additional information.

​

Please take care of yourselves.  We wish you good health and peace at this time. If you are feeling the stress and uncertainty of another lockdown we encourage you to reach out to others within your family or community for support.  And we are always only an email away.
