The Big Fish Market on The Queensway Closes
After 40 years and eight months of providing fresh seafood to the community, one of the Queensway’s most beloved institutions- the Big Fish Market- has closed its doors for good. The owners are heading into a much deserved retirement and while this news is not surprising, its closing is a loss for the community as […]

Amazing Party & Costume in Etobicoke: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Amazing Party & Costume permanently closed in 2021, after a location change from original store with the gorilla on the roof in 2018. My go-to for helium balloons, Halloween costumes, and decorations for any type of gathering from a New Year’s Eve get-together to a St. Patrick’s Day bash has always been Amazing Party […]

Angelic Nails Bar on The Queensway: NOW CLOSED
Angelic Nails Bar closed in February 2020. For years I never bothered with manicures because my nails don’t grow long without breaking, and polish always chipped off within hours of getting my nails done so didn’t really see the point. Then the SHELLAC manicure came around and that changed… now even my short nails could […]

Curvaceous Consignments in Thornhill: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Curvaceous Consignments permanently closed in 2020. Shopping for resale clothing as a curvy woman can be challenging, because in typical consignments shops there is usually far less of a variety of fashions in sizes over 12. Curvaceous Consignments on Yonge Street in Thornhill is the only consignment store in the GTA that caters to […]

Embella Party Supplies & Giftware- NOW CLOSED
My little man loves balloons, so every year for his birthday we make sure to have a big batch of colourful ones. This year I picked them up from a great shop in my neighbourhood: Embella Party Supplies and Giftware. Not only do they have an excellent balloon selection and helium services, but they have […]

“Fashion Forward”, the Craigslist for Clothes: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Fashion Forward has closed. If you are looking for a similar platform to sell used clothing, Vinted is an option although unlike Fashion Forward, it is for-profit. If you get bored of your clothes and like to send them to consignment shops so they get a second life in another closet while you recoup […]

Kathleen’s Closet: Wardrobe Services in Toronto: NOW CLOSED
Someone recently told me that women only wear 20 percent of their clothes and shoes. This seems entirely plausible to me. Recently I purged my closet- really cleared it out. I had so much stuff I couldn’t see what I had anymore if that makes sense (my friends tell me it does.) I had no […]

Parentbooks on Harbord Street: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Parentbooks permanently closed in January 2021. In 2014, Parentbooks moved to 121 Harbord Street, three blocks west of Spadina Avenue, at the corner of Harbord and Major Street. The staff at Parentbooks are so knowledgeable and the selection is outstanding. If you need a particular title, they will order it in for you. Whether […]

Model Citizen in Kensington Market: NOW CLOSED
UPDATE: Model Citizen on Augusta has permanently closed. Awww I don’t know if hipsters ruin everything, but this shirt spotted on display at Model Citizen on Augusta is pretty great. This is actually a pretty hip boutique with a terrific selection of on-trend designer clothing. Owner Julian and his terrific staff will help even the […]
