Tapestries
Description: There was a time when smoking was allowed in public venues, and every restaurant provided matchbooks to customers as built in advertising. Thank Goodness that changed! However, looking at the matchbook art on this collection may bring back some fond memories of good meals and fun times with friends in some old Toronto restaurants.
Description: Don some retro fashion with this image of an old matchbook cover used to advertise American stamp collections, sold by Kenmore Stamp Co. For only $2.95 you could fill out the form on the inside of this matchbook and send it away to receive over $30 worth of random stamps for your collection. Who still uses matches, and when was the last time you sent something in the mail?
Description: Bring back memories of the original home for Second City's Toronto dinner theatre, with an image of these retro matchbook covers from the venue at 110 Lombard St. Second City Toronto first opened its doors in 1973; but they moved to a new location in 2022 down on York Street. Comedy legends such as John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, and Gilda Radner were some of its original performers.
Description: If you know, you know. After centuries of persecution and imposed exile, the Jewish people still sing this refrain. Looking at this small piece of land for which they continue to fight; the world needs to be reminded that "it would have been enough"; and they have never asked for more. Wear it proudly at Passover, and any other time of year.
Description: This graphic design is not meant as a comment on how devastating the effects of COVID-19 have been on so many, or how important vaccines and proper testing are; but rather to take a light-hearted look at a sign of our times and turn it around into something humorous. We all know someone who could relate to this message.
