Where to shop for your bookworm pal in Toronto
Stepping into this beautiful bookstore right across from Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto feels like the farthest thing from stressed holiday shopping. With its high ceilings, floral wallpaper and hardwood floors, this shop carries everything from lovely paper lanterns to any kind of notebook you could need. Plus, with stunning renditions of classics (like the hardcover set of novels about beloved female heroines – including Little Women and Anne of Green Gables) and trendy reads alike, you’re sure to find something special for your book-loving pal. My favourite section? Hands down, the cookbooks.
