Bred’s Custom Shop has just opened on Dundas West, just west of Bathurst. They are a truly local shop. Local artists use locally made textiles to design, screen print and sew custom clothes, on the premises of the shop. Having just opened last week they have t-shirts and hats for local stylers to check out.
It’s nice to see another great place open on this stretch of Dundas.

Nadege just opened the doors to her shop on Queen Street West just east of Trinity Bellwoods Park. She is a fourth generation pastry chef from France who married a Torontonian. After many years living abroad they decided to move to Toronto and bless us with a great patisserie named after the Chef herself. They renovated this space themselves and it looks fantastic. They preserved the beautiful wood floors and modernized the rest, leaving it with a true European patisserie feel. Taste for yourself — you won’t be disappointed.

Bookhou Design, which I’ve been a fan of for several years, opened up a brick and mortar store on Dundas west of Bathurst. The store is absolutely beautiful. This Canadian husband-and-wife team design all kinds of lovely things for your home, including beautiful wood furniture, screen printed patterns on bags, housewares and children’s clothing. I suggest you check it out, especially if you have some gifts to buy.
