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

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

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!

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

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..."

Happy Valentine's Day

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

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

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.
