Times Colonist E-edition

So much is happening this summer!

It has been a year since we moved our store from Fort Street to our current location on Oak Bay Avenue. Moving the store was a big decision and not one we took lightly. We had been on Fort Street for 3 years at that point and felt a part of that community, both the Fort Street gang and the downtown businesses in general. But we needn’t have worried - Oak Bay has been AWESOME! Thank you for making us feel welcome and included in the neighborhood. Thank you to our customers who followed us from Fort Street (and even earlier from Fairfield) and to all the new customers who have become regulars and friends. Thank you to our fabulous neighbors - Bark,Bath and Beyond, Divine Gem, Jojo Hair Salon and Oak Bay Cobbler - you are all rockstars!!

We are excited to announce our first VIntage Fair of the season - happening on July 29 from 10am - 3pm, both outside the store on our driveway and inside in our back studio, We have 9 different vintage vendors coming bringing everything from vintage clothes to toys, collectibles, housewares, pyrex, furniture and much more. Make sure to mark your calendars and save the date!!

Meanwhile in the store we are bursting with all kinds of fresh colours and treasures for the Summer season! We are stocked with new oilcloth patterns, cotton nightwear and silk robes, pretty new dresses, and light cotton tunics. We also now carry a fabulous line of teas based on Literary authors - William Shakespeare tea, Jane Austen tea and Beatrix Potter tea to name a few. Regular tea tastings happen on Saturday afternoons so you can sample before you buy.

Did you know that we have an Artist of the Month program in the store? Every month a different local Victoria artist gets to hang their work just inside our door and we promote it and sell it for them. We know how hard it can be to get work shown and are happy to foster both emerging and established artists this way. Got something you are working on? Give us a call to discuss becoming one of our Artists of the Month and let’s get you out there!

Lastly - to all the folks who are shopping in small stores like ours - thank you. Small shops and local businesses are what make Victoria interesting and vibrant but we can’t do it without you. When you choose to buy local instead of from a big store or online you are supporting a whole network of makers, artists, craftspeople, and entrepreneurs who live right in your community. They appreciate you and so do we!

Lazy Susan’s is located at 2039 Oak Bay Ave. We are open Tuesday through Saturday 10 - 6pm Our phone number is 250-412-2115
