Thank You for Party Rocking
We had our official opening party at the 129 Ossington location last Thursday and it was a blast. It was super gratifying to have new faces among our Toronto customers come out, as well as many Ottawa ex-pats. Not only that, we were lucky enough to have other cool business buds stop by (like the fine people from White Elephant, Coal Miner's Daughter, Crywolf, Town Moto, Bellwoods Brewery, Eleven Thirty, Easy Tiger Goods, SOOP SOOP, Philip Sparks, Crafted Coffee, some of the WORNettes, and many more and if I didn't include you in the list, it's because I probably never got to chat with you as I was probably busy replenishing the pizza slices and wine). We also had some of our Canadian designers come out as well (like Garry from Galtani, Amanda Moss, Leilanni Todd, Emily Valentine, Charziie, Yo Sick Zine and Rosehound Apparel, to name a few).
To start out, talented artist Julia Dickens outfitted the shop with a beautiful new window display with spray-painted flowers and hand-painted banners just in time for the party.

We were so overwhelmed with how many people showed up to shop and chat that we didn't take lots of photos, but we managed to capture a few snaps of food mostly, cuz... well... no surprise there.

It kinda seems like there were no other people at the party, since we spaced on taking action photos, but LOOK! Real people actually came!
