Things I've Learned Since Opening a Store

1. Even though it sounds all nice and cute when people say "Liz is running a little stationery shop" compared to "Jon is working at a real job that brings home bacon," it can be very stressful.

The Grand Opening!

The Grand Opening!

Or rather, the first official day of the store! We didn't plan anything too grand, since our store is  tiny and can't fit too many! We had a lot of people stop by, some even making the trip from Etobicoke or Mississauga just to check out the new fountain pen store.

New in Store - TWSBI!

New in Store - TWSBI!

TWSBI has been in the works for quite a while, and I didn't want to say outright that we were going to be able to carry them until we actually got our order in - you never know what sort of customs delays or manufacturing delays might come up.

Storefront Renovations Begin!

Storefront Renovations Begin!

We are getting the store ready! It's at 906 Dundas Street West in Toronto. We still have a ton to do with the renovations, getting signs, ordering stock, furniture, getting our software ready and all of the little things that need to get done. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a July 2nd opening, but we'll keep you updated as we progress.
