My heart is so full. ❤️

I’m beyond excited to share that my handmade tea towels are now being carried by Colangelo Brothers Food Market. Colangelo Brothers Food Market

This isn’t just another store to me. It’s a place filled with memories.

I remember my mom shopping there every week, and after loading up on groceries, the Colangelo family would drive her and the groceries home. Customer service was always front and centre.

Every year we would buy bushels of tomatoes for our annual sauce-making tradition, Shepherd peppers for the freezer, and even half a cow — carefully cut by their skilled butchers — so our freezer was always filled with every cut of meat imaginable. My dad would also take a walk down the street to pick up his Corriere Canadese newspaper.

I still shop there on occasion, so to now have my handmade towels being sold there feels like such a full-circle moment.

A heartfelt thank you to the Colangelo family for supporting my small business. It truly means the world to me.

If you grew up in the area, you know that Colangelo Brothers is more than just a grocery store — it’s a little piece of Italian community and tradition. ❤️

📍 Colangelo Brothers Food Market
2885 Midland Avenue, Scarborough

Did you grow up shopping at Colangelo Brothers? I’d love to hear your memories in the comments.

Grazie mille! ❤️

I just got this in. It's a collapsible hand fan that fits into a tiny pouch. It takes a little practice to get it back into it though, but I did it, and so can you!!

If you're not a fan of this heat (like me), you'll love this handy fan that fits perfectly into your bag or pocket on hot summer days.

And best of all, it's customizable!

Here's a closer look at what I gifted Lucy and Tony Loopsy55

I still can't believe that I was fortunate enough to be invited into her home and spend some time with her. It was such a lovely experience, one that will never be forgotten.

Thank you again Lucy for the opportunity!!
