As you stroll past the storefronts on Bloor Street West it’s hard to miss the famous faces in the window at TOWN. Marilyn Monroe, David Bowie and Charlie Chaplin are among the crowd of iconic entertainers peering out from behind the glass at Shelley Town’s charming card and giftware shop. The cheeky celebrity masks, designed by Mamelock Papercraft in the U.K., are the perfect theme party accessory or last minute Halloween costume.
With legendary stars in the window and quirky design-oriented wares lining the shelves, it’s easy to see that TOWN isn’t just a run of the mill stationary shop. Greeting cards might be the store’s “bread and butter” as Shelley puts it, but there’s a delightful world of toys, stationary, magnets, soaps and décor items inside the enchanting emporium.
