A Place of Pride on our Pillow
We covet everything Christine Flynn puts in her Leslieville shop. Her eye for good vintage and great design is second to none.
Now she’s expanding her own line of pieces including a series of plush pillows dedicated to the city we love. Made from old mailbags and army pup tents (with rope and grommet detail), cushions are down-filled and individually silkscreened in TTC trolley stops from the 1920s ($195).
Also in-house, gorgeous side tables Flynn fashions out of white pine end pieces from log homes. Each is resined six times, hand-painted and emblazoned with our provincial coat arms.
A place to stand, a place to grow,
Ontari-ari-ari-o!—Marianne Wisenthal
