We are so happy to be sponsoring the spring Toronto Stationery Show @torontostationeryshow this year.
For those who haven't been before, it's exactly what it sounds like and so much more: a full day of paper goods, local makers, artists, and shops, and the kind of crowd that genuinely gets excited about paper! Last year's show was wonderful and we are already looking forward to seeing familiar faces and discovering what's new this season.
VIP is honestly one of the best ways to take in the show, more time, less rush, and a great excuse to linger. We have a pair of VIP tickets to give away, and all the details are just below.

Sponsor Spotlight: @paperpluscloth ✉️ Almost time! We’ve already started packing up for the Toronto Stationery Show and the excitement is very real.

As a shop devoted to analogue tools and mindful living, this show holds a special place for us. It’s where like-minded stationery enthusiasts and paper lovers all find themselves in the same room, and where we get to discover and connect with talented local paper brands and small businesses we might not cross paths with otherwise. This year we’ll be unveiling new items, a limited-edition stamp, and a few surprises we can’t wait to share.
.
If you’re coming to the show, we’d love to see you. You can find us online @paperpluscloth or at and if you have a few extra minutes, our shop is just down the street at 1340 Queen St. W. Come see everything that didn’t fit in the booth!✨ (Please contact the sponsor directly if you have any questions) ✏️

We’ll be joining @nextstop.japan Marketplace for a sakura-themed pop-up!
.
Plus join us for a hands-on workshop where participants will carve a simple sakura rubber stamp and use it to create a cherry blossom–themed postcard by the end of class.
.
We’ll walk through the basics of stamp carving and safe tool use step by step, then bring the designs together in a small finished piece to take home.
.
Only a few seats left! - This is a special workshop taking place at The Welcome Market on Sunday, March 15 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM, and space is limited.
.
Next Stop Japan 2026 is a multi-day Japanese marketplace organized by JETRO.
Next Stop Japan brings together Japanese food, beverages, lifestyle goods, and cultural experiences—all in one place on Queen West. It’s a great opportunity to explore authentic products and learn about the craftmanship and stories behind them.
A total of 31 vendors will be joining the event, and cultural performances will take place on the main stage throughout the day.
This event’s theme is inspired by Sakura (Japanese cherry blossoms), symbolizing renewal and the arrival of spring in Japan.
Twenty years ago, Traveler’s Company introduced a simple leather notebook that would go on to inspire a global community of writers, artists, and explorers. What began as a thoughtfully designed notebook grew into something much bigger, becoming a companion for everyday moments and meaningful journeys alike. To celebrate this milestone, Traveler’s Company has created a special 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Notebook Kit featuring an entirely new size called the Traveler’s Notebook Card Size.
The Card Size was designed to be even more portable than the familiar Passport and Regular sizes. Small enough to keep with you at all times, it is ready whenever an idea appears, a moment is worth capturing, or something important needs to be remembered. It is a notebook that fits naturally into daily life and is always within reach when inspiration strikes.
This anniversary kit includes the Card Size leather notebook, refill notebooks, a cotton zipper case, a kraft paper folder, and a connecting rubber band. When assembled inside the leather cover, the system becomes more than just a notebook. It can function as a compact wallet, a business card holder, a card case, or a small pouch that keeps everyday essentials together.
Available in a black set or a brown set. Pre Order is now open on our website with limited quantities.
