Default Favorite stamp stores in Toronto?

Hi - I'll be going up to Toronto, Canada in a couple of weeks from now for business. Does anyone have a favorite stamp/scrapbook store there?

I'm not familiar with Stamp Stores in Toronto, but if you will be touring around and passing through London, ON there is a great stamp store there. London is about 2-3 hours away from Toronto, depending upon where you start driving from.

We used to live in London and they have a great selection of stamps, paper and other related products.

Take care, Brenda

Default Stamp store in Toronto

I was in Toronto last week visiting my brother. I asked him to look for a stamp/scrapping store and he found Scrapbooks by Design, 1783 Queen St. It's in the east end near Kingston Rd. (where the old Woodbine Racetrack was located). They have a lot of Hero Arts and Magenta stamps. Their scrapping supplies are very nice--lots of papers but many of them I've seen here too. The prices are higher of course, but with the exchange rate it isn't too bad. They do have a 15% tax on everything in Canada. Hope you have a nice visit--it's a great city--very cosmopolitan--with many ethnic neighborhoods and restaurants.

FYI: It's a Nationwide 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST) and each *Province* has it's own % Provincial Sales Tax (PST) which is applicable to either the same or fewer things than the GST. I love that there's no PST when dining out in BC. :cool:
(Just an FYI...I dislike misinformation and general assumptions.)

Anymore stores to recommend? Where are the Torontonians?? ;)

Here's the store Shadow mentioned: Scrapbooks By Design/.

Default I'll be in the business district? in Toronto

I'll be in what I assume is the business district of Toronto (I've never been there before!), near Adelaide St. East.

I'll only have a few hours to myself on this business trip, so I'm trying to figure out how to make best use of what little time I'll have there.

Thanks for the info and suggestions, gals! Keep em coming!

Just a note about the goods and services tax:

As a non-resident visitor, you can claim a refund for goods and services tax sales tax GST (the 7% tax) you paid on eligible goods and short-term accommodation while visiting Canada.

See this Canada Revenue Agency link for details.
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/nonresi...ors/tax-e.html
Please see the details that you need ahead of time to qualify.

There is no refund for the provincial sales tax.

I hope this helps someone.
Take care, Brenda
