When a client needs art rehung after a move, there is one tall man we like to call on – Ryan Barrett of ArtVerb. Referred to us by a client, Ryan is an artist himself and good to work with. He arrives in his uniform and bright green truck. He hangs art, from Group of Seven originals to posters, to maximum effect. And is a good listener. And tall. – Christie

Owner Susan in her wonderful store
The store is now owned and operated by the charming and direct Susan. She can do anything with lighting …. she’s even made a lamp out of a ski boot! If you have foreign fixtures that need rewiring, or are looking for a great selection of shades and finials, or want to update the look of a beloved lamp, or want to turn just about anything into a lamp, this is your place! Thank you Susan for hosting over 25 organizers at our Social Event.- Christie

Ex-Toggery is an upscale consignment shop located in Leaside that sells pre-owned and new clothes for ladies and men. If it’s a great name, hardly used, and at an unbelievable price, you’ll find it at Ex-Toggery. Their website clearly outlines what items they are interested to take in on consignment. There is a second location on Avenue Road, near Lawrence.
Jeff Barrett and his associate Graham Hall are the best Mac technicians in Toronto. And they are super-nice too. Give him a call for help with all your Mac troubles. Ask for some training on your brand new Mac or to upgrade your skills. There is also a well-written blog on the website that will keep you up-to-date on all things Mac. They just got a back-up routine organized for me! – Christie

Need to shrink-wrap something to hang on the wall? Or have a piece of sports memorabilia you want to frame safely? This place can do it for you – it’s hard to find, but worth the trip.

Darlene Levitz and her two business partners have a wonderful thing going on at ‘Of Things Past’. Very careful about what she accepts for consignment into her showroom, the merchandise is of top quality and in very high demand. If you see it, and like it, please buy it, as there is a very real chance that it will be gone by the time you go back for it. A great place to sell your unused items and to look for new things. And always a pleasure to do business with. – Christie

A brand new store has opened on Mount Pleasant Road with a brilliant business idea. They sell high-end draperies on consignment as well as carry new draperies in eco-friendly reused fabric! A wonderful and very attractive addition to the strip. Thank you to Martha for the impromptu invitation to our group of 30 organizers during our October 1st Social Event. – Christie
