LOCKE STREET LETTERING SOCIETY: We're tossing aside our cell phones, computers and tablets! Join us the first Thursday of every month (starting March 5) and embrace old school correspondence. We're setting out our vintage typewriters, pens, papers, envelopes and stamps for anyone who wants to send that letter they have been meaning to send out. A love letter perhaps? A letter to long lost friend? A thank you note? There are so many reasons to send a letter! Free for all!

]]>Never lose your page again! Magnetic bookmarks are the perfect gift for all book lovers and students.
Closed, the bookmark measures 2” x 3.5”, and when opened, it measures 2” x 7”. The bookmark comes packaged in cello with an explanation of the Japanese Paper. The packaging measures 3” x 5”, making it ideal to pop into a Christmas card or stocking. Makes a lovely magnetic *snap* sound when you place it over the page of your favourite book.
Each bookmark is handmade and unique; therefore the paper placement may vary slightly from the photos.
Each bottle's label has been customized with the groomsman's name, wedding date, groom's name and details like "Raised in Dundas" and "Teaching JD to tie his shoes, 1995" to personalize each bottle.
We were also asked to create a custom label for a Moet Chandon Champagne bottle that was a special gift from the bride to her parents, and features gold foil printing.
even the gold seal was personalized
