Update - 7/22/2010

Just enjoyed a hilarious encounter with an uber-enthusiastic clerk at the Aboveground counter. He carried on a steady patter like a radio DJ, with a booming ALLRIGHTY-THEN kind of voice. When he mentioned how beautiful it was outside, he actually…More »

My crippling addiction to art supplies is not helped by my proximity to Above Ground Art Supplies.… Read more »

There is no better name for this store. We're talking the aptest of nomenclature, son. The Paper Place is positively overflowing with paper EVerything: notebooks (including Rhodia), handmade and craft paper, cards and calendars, gift boxes,…More »

Category: Thrift Stores

Neighbourhood: Leslieville

2/26/2011

Value Village is a reliable source of kitsch, bric-a-brac, used clothing and craft supplies. It's better organized than you might think, and when I was scouring the racks for an orange polo shirt (I was a douche-o-lantern for Halloween) it was a…More »

Graven Feather is a relatively new addition to Queen St W. I happened upon it by chance when a modest sandwich board stopped me in my tracks. Graven... feather?

Following a short flight of stairs I was led down into a wee little basement gallery. This…More »

Neighbourhood: The Beach

1/10/2012

This is the only place in T.O. that I have seen stocking Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks and that alone is worth the trek out to The Beach. These notebooks are like "tricked out" Moleskines. They rock numbered pages, are available in grid, graph, lined and…More »

Tiny art store by OCAD. Not sure why you'd come here considering that the expansive Aboveground Art Supplies is right around the corner. That said, they do have most things an artist would need. Not cheap, but they often have sales.

I'm no artist, but as someone with a serious addiction to purchasing art supplies, this place is like a large resealable sack of ecstacy sitting in a punchbowl of cocaine dropped into a kiddle pool of heroin. That is to say, I like this place.
