Thank you Deb! Oh, we ship worldwide, and we offer free local delivery in the Kingston area. If you live in Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal there is a possibility of free shipping too, but not expedited. We have friends and family who sometimes visit and we can work with that.

Best little hidden gem in Kingston
May 28, 2019

While wandering around we stumbled upon this small little alleyway just off the main shopping drag downtown. The owner of the shop was working by the doorway and inviting us in. We really had no idea what we were getting into but I can say that we were pleasantly surprised by what we found - amazing local art. The shop owner is also an artist and has some impressive pieces on display. Needless to say we didn't walk way empty handed. I would highly recommend dropping by. Thanks.

Enchanting
June 19, 2019

My daughter and I stumbled across Martello Alley while visiting Kingston. The setting is an amazing, enchanting, visual masterpiece! Don't miss it if you are visiting the area. I look forward to my next visit so I can pop in and see the alley and it's artists. A special thanks to David, who had the vision behind the wonder. He is incredibly talented at art, but also with the history of the people, places and things he loves :)

Review of purchase of Hiver
May 7, 2019

I loved the store and variety of art available. A great place to visit again! The service was awesome and they made the sending of my art very easy.
However, my art was wrinkled and a little crushed around the edges when it arrived. I think the envelope was too small and maybe could have used more cardboard(or thicker cardboard?)to protect it during shipping.
That was my only complaint.

Hi Sue. As you know, I sent you another print which you confirmed via email that it had arrived intact. Glad that this has been resolved to your satisfaction.

Hidden Gem
September 16, 2016

Last year we found it just out of the blue on one of our walks. David, the owner, was just in the process of setting up and he gave us a tour and filled us in on what his vision for the place would be. We stopped again this year and "wow" what a lovely place he has made it. I purchased something for my daughter's bedroom in her new house. I hope she likes it. She is sorting all her clothes out and putting things away. Here are some photos I took of Martello Alley. Anyone visiting Kingston needs to put this down as a "must see".

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I am pleased that we were able to help you find something for your daughter's bedroom. Also, my sincere apologies for replying so late. I think that review notifications have ended up in my spam folder. I will make an effort to check more often. Again, thanks so much! One thing though - you mentioned photos but I cannot see any. Please share them with us on our Facebook page. We would love to see them!

Service in Style
November 30, 2016

I experienced a lovely shop in an alley that reminded me of nineteenth century London. The owner showed me pieces that met my taste and was extremely informative about the artist. It is a pleasure to shop in Martello Alley and I plan to return when I am again in Kingston.
