Such a wonderful local shop in Kensington Market, filled with high-quality stationery and beautiful cards, funny hipster cards, prints, and artwork.

With lots of card companies like Papyrus and Carlton Cards closing shops, I'm glad there are still…read morelocal shops sticking around. I came to purchase some cards. If you are looking to buy pre-made multiples, they only have it for thank you cards. The shop is cute with lots of different little knick-knacks and gifts. I wish they sold more pins of food items. That would be a cute little gift. However, they do have a pin of a Monstera leaf which I thought was cool. They also have workshops for screen printing though I think that's been on pause. By the checkout counter, there are free bookmarks from what seems like leftover prints they've done. What a nice touch! I like that!

Will definitely be back. Yay! I'm a fan!

Dust, piles of it on the frames. I was blaming the ceiling just because I had no idea that (powder dust beetles) were a thing. Took me a google search to know that I've been living with these things in the 12 frames for nearly 2 years which is actually totally normal for this species. Really disappointed.

This is a nice change from Michael's as it's not cookie cutter type of store. 2 levels with the 2nd floor mainly dealing with paints, fine arts, frames etc supplies and the first floor with fancy paper type of supplies you will definitely get inspired. I found both floors to be kind of crowded but since it wasn't busy when I went it was ok. There is also a register on the 2nd floor so you don't have to go downstairs and wait in line. The staff are really friendly and will make suggestions if you need some help or inspiration. The prices are decent but I didn't see much sales. Some of the stock is what you could find at other box stores but there are a lot of unique items that are catered to the artiste.

LASERS ARE COOL. I…read moregot a very specific gift idea in my head, and Toronto Laser Services helped me pull it off. I ordered a beautiful wooden canoe paddle and wanted the gift-receivers name engraved on the bottom. I popped in with the paddle, told them my vision and it was perfect and ready for pickup within a week. About three days after dropping it off, they sent me a few options to choose from, and it looked *exactly* like the one I chose. Now that I know I can laser etch things with such ease, shit around my house is getting monogrammed. Because, again, LASERS ARE COOL.

The other staff are friendly, sincere in their interactions, helpful and really kind about explaining the processes even though it's a busy place. The first job I brought here was done perfectly. I was also grateful that they were willing to take a small job. The second job got kind of messed up. Delivery of the end product was late and I ended having to hand cut everything because the precision wasn't there. There was also a lot of waste of the material. The owner didn't really seem to care about that and I didn't want to get into it with him.

My friend and I wandered in on a Sunday afternoon to find a children's art class going on. The staff were highly engaged in the class but did briefly stop to greet us and to let them know if we needed anything. The space isn't huge as the majority of it seems to be dedicated to their art classes, but they have the basic supplies, plus some other fun items that are sure to catch your eye. There is a small room which looks to be a gallery of sorts, but it was hard to tell exactly what was going on with the space. As with many of the other stores in The Junction, you can find business cards and pamphlets for other local businesses and artists. April challenge 16/30
