Category: Hide The Credit Cards

It’s been just over a year since I first told you about some of the American retail stores that were/are coming to Canada.  And now CB2, the more urbanversion of Crate + Barrel has finally opened at Queen and Bathurst.  Torontoist ran a really cool photo series last week, showing off the gorgeously restored building, and the new shop inside.  I am so excited that this is just a streetcar ride away.  Hide the credit cards!

Can’t make it to the downtown location?  You can shop online in Canadian dollars, without fear of getting nailed with duty fees.

When I travel, I often use my iPhone as a bedside clock.  I have a white noise app with a sleep mode, where it displays the time.  Much easier than remembering to pack a travel clock.

I was amused when I saw these iPhone alarm docks (get it? “alarm dock” instead of “alarm clock”?) from Uncommon Goods.  They’re really pretty – the wood is lovely.  And you can charge your phone while placing it on the dock.  If my current at-home alarm clock* ever dies, I think I’ll replace it with this one.

*I’ve had the same alarm clock since I was 9 years old. It’s called the P’Jammer and it’s pink and purple. It’s so old and goofy looking, but it’s a really good clock, so I’m keeping it around!

Another DIY web-based printing deal for you today… Moo is offering 30% off all products until November 28.  There’s no promo code – everything is marked down automatically at check-out.  This is a great time to try out their stickers, or order new business cards.

Who doesn’t love popping bubble wrap? What a great way to mark the passing of days.

Whoa – did you see these modern fairytale posters by Christian Jackson that were featured on Cup of Jo yesterday?  Aren’t they fun?  I like the Mary Poppins and Rapunzel ones the best.  You can buy them here.
