Vitamin Daily

Newly opened Pretty Little Things is a treasure trove of unique finds, one-of-a-kind gems and vintage finds. Off the beaten track, in the historic Ramsay neighbourhood, it’s the perfect setting for the romanticism of bygone eras.

Open only Friday to Sunday, owner Debbie Dalen spends the rest of the time scouring the city for the vintage jackets (fur-collared pea coats or leopard-print coats), home items (classic tea sets), new beauty finds (Nanette Lepore perfume) and off-the-wall knick-knacks (glittery skulls). New clothing, children’s items, books and stationery round out the eclectic collection and each item includes a handwritten note by Dalen suggesting creative ideas for its use.

That sparkly skull: we’re thinking a last-minute gift for the gal who has everything.
