Judi takes us on a tour of her bright, colorful and interesting downtown Lethbridge store. Her unique retail concept is actually two stores in one - Nicholai Home Fashion, a modern, contemporary lifestyle accessories, furniture boutique and Peter & Nelly's Market, comprised of 19 local and area entrepreneurs.

Nicholai has a wide range of contemporary household items that range from mirrors to furniture, pillows to books and a wide range of other unique and colorfully designed accessories that will appeal to a variety of tastes and styles. Some of the well-known lines they carry are Torre & Tagus, Maxwell & Williams, Fatboy and Umbra. They also stock contemporary framed prints by Canadian artists as well as an eclectic selection of design/style books.

The other side of Judi's unique concept store is taken up by Peter & Nelly's Market. The market fills a gap that was left when Homestead Village closed its doors. Each of the merchants in the market rent different sizes of retail space and offer their customers a diverse selection of items. Baby blankets, purses, jewelry, original art, jams/antipasto, framed outdoor photographs by Mike Byneshewsky and much, much more can all be found in this unique little downtown market space.

Each year, Nicholai hosts Lethbridge Fashion Week's Designer Sale. This popular sale of exclusive fashions, showcases designs by our city's top designers and upcoming talent.
