Review from Vivian Y.

Disclaimer: I am very close friends with Cindy, the proprietor but I waiting until I actually VISITED the store before writing this review!
Super cute store!! It's almost across the street from the Green Mango restaurant so it's on the East stretch of Bloor West.
The store has a great selection of handmade goods from local artists! Everything from recycled shopping totes made from coffee bags, to handmade "dim sum" & "sushi" rings; to pretty gem and pearl necklaces. There is even a cute selection of clothes from local designers.
Parking is relatively easy in front of the store.
Definitely drop in to check out the stuff! -

Periwinkle is an awesome little jewellery shop that is located between High Park and Bloor West Village. It features a wide selection of jewellery from local designers and a lot of different artwork. I love the Marilyn Monroe paintings that are by the front door, the navy blue and earth-toned floral pillows, and the photographs of Parisian scenes on wood. They also have a few different pieces of clothing and dresses, and a few items for kids.Most of the tables have the designers' business cards available, and most are willing to do custom work if you're inspired. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area or are looking to buy a creative gift.
Also, since it's December, if you're going to a christmas party and want some festive earrings, they have a few different pairs of dangly earrings with christmas trees, silver bells and red and green balls. They also have some nice host gifts, like candles, candle holders, ornaments, and decorative kitchen items.
History
Established in 2009
Periwinkle is founded by young Canadian girl, an ambitious female entrepreneur who has a passion for design and a knack for beautiful handmade crafts. Her background in textiles, embroidery, sewing, graphic and website design an experience as a high-end retail store manager makes the opening of Periwinkle her perfect venture.
Due to product demand, Cindy was no longer able to maintain her day job, make products and participate in craft shows all over the country. In August 2009, she decided it was time to take the plunge and create a marketplace in a high-end boutique environment to help out other crafters like herself. Periwinkle is the perfect place for other ambitious designers who use high quality products and superior craftsmanship to take their business to the next level. The designers at Periwinkle get to be their own boss, make money and showcase their product with very little financial risk! Everyone needs a helping hand, and periwinkle is here to support, help and believe.
