We had a very special visitor at Lainey's today - meet Jupiter the tuxedo cat (they/them)!

Lainey was totally non-plussed and slept through it all, as usual

If you are on our mailing list you heard it already - say 'May flowers' at checkout next Wednesday to get %25 off!

We sourced recycled plastic pieces to attach the paper tags, which we sourced from Pritchard Packaging, a local supplier who purchases from a mill in Quebec

The stickers are back - get them while they last!

Also, we are closed today to avoid babysitting anyone during the eclipse - if the schools can't we probably couldn't either!!

We will open tomorrow 11:30-5 instead!

Lainey is not that interested in going out in this cold, but that's only cause she doesn't have snow pants ...

Don't let that stop you though, stay warm during this cold spell with a pair of snow pants from Lainey's - now 50% off!

Try out anything in our new changing room - never wonder if it will fit again!!

Open till 6:30 today and till 5 Sunday and Monday

We are closed today (Tuesday) as usual, it is Lainey's favorite day of the week because she often gets to go in and out all she wants!

Meanwhile we have lots of exciting news: for shoppers - we now have reusable bags available - made by Almaz who took courses at Ecoequitable - an amazing social enterprise that offers sewing classes among many other services - used recovered material from their awesome fabric store! https://ecoequitable.ca/

Also, if you haven't heard, we are now a pickup location for Second Hand Stories - the online bookstore that supports a chicken sanctuary near Ottawa. Order online and come pickup instore!
https://secondhandstories.ca/

We launched our online store! We have gift certificates, reusable bags and 5lb bundles of clothes picked from our bins, available to ship across Canada!! We think these would be great for a local reseller in a small community or a group of friends.
https://laineys-luck.helcim.app/

We are also offering private shopping parties for large groups who want some time to themselves - we recently hosted the first of a monthly event organised by the University of Ottawa Pride Centre!

I finally dropped by @laineysluck tonight and while I didn’t get the chance to meet sweet Lainey, I had a ton of fun digging through the bins! I came out with a top and a nightgown. Woot!

For some reason, I’d been under the impression it was in Hintonburg (why?? 🤷‍♀️) but it’s actually on Bank Street, right by the 417, so easily accessible on foot, by transit and by car.

Give it a try!
