Laywine’s Pens and Organizers

Two of my favourite things are found in this store – fountain pens and paper organizers! Even those of us who have gone digital can be enraptured by a beautiful paper planner. I can’t count the number of fountain pens I’ve come across organizing clients’ offices. Always loved, they are usually no longer used because they’ve dried up or don’t work well anymore. I take the pens to Laywine’s for a new lease on life. After the repair, the store sends home well-written maintenance instructions to keep them working. Writing with a fountain pen is one of life’s small pleasures I indulge in everyday! – Christie

Umbra Concept Store

The Umbra Concept Store

Umbra’s concept store is the great big pink building- you can’t miss it! A Canadian design success story: they sell good quality, great looking and well-priced items for the home, with very helpful and friendly staff.  A big thank you to Mark Wallis, the Umbra Concept Store manager, who hosted the Professional Organizers in Canada Toronto Social Committee for an in-depth personal manager’s tour of the store! Definitely worth a visit as there are many items for sale in the store that are not available on their website or through their resellers. – Christie
