It's a lovely kooky shop. The staff are super friendly. There is so much stuff here, you cold spend an entire day here! Prices are a bit high for some items. I brought buttons thinking they were $10 but were actually $28. . . Just b check prices before you buy!

One of the best curated stores in Toronto. Gadabout is the old curiosity shop only better! It's filled with items from the late 1800s through the late 1970s. Curios, nostalgia, ephemera - oodles of paper, incredible vintage posters, tons of fabulous vintage clothing and accessories for men and women. Amazing textiles. It is a well-known haunt for wardrobe, prop and set decorators for film and theatre production. Gadabout does not carry furniture. If it's small, cool, enigmatic, it's probably in the store. The store contains a myriad of drawers all labeled and organized with items ranging from spats and opera glasses to slide rulers and office supplies. There's even a whole area of vintage housewares. Gadabout is not a consignment shop.
