“The two lovely owners feed people. They clothe them, help them with whatever. This store is the community hub this neighbourhood so desperately needs.
They support this work by selling all sorts of great stuff that all sorts of us donate. It's a beautiful mission and a really fun place to spend time. Lots of people volunteer. Lots of people shop there. Including me. I donate, I buy. I donate, I buy. What can I say? The work they do, their kindness, the quality of their goods, it's all irresistible.
Whatever your needs, whether it be for physical help or for more joy in your life, highjinx is the place you want to go.”
“A small but very packed store! Lots to look at, and hopefully you'll find your treasure! Mostly dishware, home decorations, and a bit of jewelry, but you never know what you'll find!”
“Ive gotten so many items thru the auction. My more recent purchase was my baby blue VW Golf. Love that car! I also got my full living room sofa set more than 8yrs ago and I still have them. Love how every auction is something different and how I can go in to see the items before bidding!”
“Lots of art, glassware, books, and smaller treasures. Not much variety - might just be a handful of vendors here, but the staff of two were friendly enough, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're an Ottawa area resident.”
“Sadly and for valid reasons antique businesses are struggling with the newer generations. That said this shop is very lovely and I hope it can weather the storm.”

“I cannot believe there are any bad reviews of this store....maybe people are mixing it up with another store? This store is well stocked with lovely items that are very fairly priced. The Owners are always pleasant and helpful and the little dog is a delight. There are no clothes, only household items. Lovely treasures!”
“Thank you for the beautiful wintergreens that you donated to our Christmas Market café at St John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Ottawa on Saturday. The table decor was chosen specifically by you to match our poster and the aprons worn by the cafe team of volunteers. Several people commented on the simplicity and attractiveness of the flower. They will look beautiful in our garden once Spring arrives. Your generosity as a local merchant supporting our Christmas Market was greatly appreciated.”
