This tiny Leslieville curio shop offers a cornucopia of antique, recycled and vintage-inspired finds. There’s plenty of kitchen kitsch, with floral-hued ceramic and glass vases ($8–$80), a ‘70s brown breadbox ($15) and gold-rimmed highball sets from the swinging ’60s ($8–$35). A mismatch of teapots, lamps, candy jars and wall hangings lines every available surface, including writing desks in Art Deco, teak and other designs ($195–$350) and a pair of overstuffed brocade chairs in ruby and emerald ($250). Funky ’50s-inspired oilcloth designs are eye-catching: nab a cheery gingham or floral tote bag ($22.95) or make your own tablecloth ($8.99 a yard). Alongside retro Sublime Stitching patterns ($4.50) are embroidered courier bags ($49 and $59). Jingle necklaces ($4) and photo albums fashioned from old record sleeves ($29.95) make great gifts.
