8 boutiques to discover in Chelsea and Wakefield
On my last visit to Chelsea/Wakefield, my sister and I took time out for a little shopping at the local boutiques. I thought others might be interested, so here’s my report on 8 must-see shops in Chelsea/Wakefield! ?
Flanked by the magnificent hills of Gatineau Park and the Gatineau River, the historic village of Wakefield has its unique character and laid back way of life.

Next on the list is Boutique Jamboree home decor and gift shop. You’re sure to find a little treasure to brighten your home or give as a gift!
