906 Dundas W Tote Bags
While Jon is taking care of the renovations and dealing with the contractors in the new place, I'm taking care of saying good-bye to the old.
Field Trip to Coach House Press
One of the most surprising things about this business, which we've been in now for only about two years plus, is getting to know our local and Canadian entrepreneurs, distributors and businesses.
A New Adventure for the Wonder Pens Family
After a long, dusty, roller-coaster search, we have some big news. We're moving! Our tiny corner of the fountain pen and stationery world, here at 906 Dundas West, has been an incredible adventure. Taking the entrepreneurial leap, discovering new products, meeting some pretty fascinating and hilarious people - this space has been a little cocoon for us (I've been reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar...). But we're ready to turn into our beautiful butterfly!
A Day in the Life
A while ago, someone happened to be walking in the neighbourhood and discovered our tiny shop.
Those Fortune Telling Miracle Fish
When you place an order online with us, we include this little fish to tell the tail/tale of your life's adventures. (If you come into the shop, you can just ask Jon to look into your hand and he'll do the same for you.)
Chinese New Year Celebrations
Jon and I wanted to share some celebration at Christmas, but we kind of got caught up with all the holiday excitement. I guess I had a little too much eggnog... However, Chinese New Year is fast approaching! Now, me and Jon are necessarily, you know, like REALLY Chinese...we're more like "mmm...dim-sum..."
February Newsletter from Your Friends at Wonder Pens
Dear Pen Friends,
Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Family Day, Happy Lunar New year! This chilly February, there's lots to celebrate.
Happy Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is coming up, and I thought maybe you could use some inspiration as you're writing your cards. After all, it's hard to be romantic on demand.
A Visit from Pilot
It's no secret that I love when our distributors or manufacturers come for a visit. They get to check out the shop, we get to chat a bit, but of course, my favourite part is that usually come with some treats!
Shop Update: Back in Stock
We're finally beginning to get the shop back into order after the holiday hustle and bustle. We've had a lot of items out of stock since the Christmas rush, and while it's not too unusual to have a few items out of stock or backordered, we really had some empty shelves.
