Our Local Businesses
As relatively new business owners, we're learning a lot about our community and running a local, independent business.
Weekly Update: July 29th - August 4th
Lots of new and exciting things happening around here! We've just received our long anticipated shipment of Rohrer & Klingner Inks.
Weekly Update! July 22-28
We've received our latest shipment of Noodler's Inks, especially exciting because a few bottles were broken!
Wonder Pens in BlogTO!
I know our blog seems a little empty of actual ink or pen reviews, but it's been crazy since we've opened up just two weeks ago!
The Upcoming Week - July 8-14
Now that the store is open and I'm here full-time, we're going to keep you updated a little more regularly with what is going on. We are putting our next Noodler's and Private Reserve orders in this week.
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!
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!
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.
