Newsletter No. 53: VALENTINES 2011

The Love Of Our Lives

Annanda DeSilva Erotic Arts and Crafts Poster

We all came to this co-operative through our love and passion for sex, sex toys, or sex education, but through the years, our love has truly blossomed into something else entirely. We still love all of the things that brought us here, of course, but our passion has been transformed from a love and passion for all things having do to with sex, to a love and appreciation for all of you.

If you’ve been hanging around us for a while, you’ll remember that this certainly isn’t our first Valentine’s Day love letter to you (and it certainly won’t be our last!) but as the years go by, we think it is good to take a little time to express appreciation for the folks we appreciate the most. This Valentine’s Day, just know that we’re here for you, and we just want to help make this lover’s holiday your best yet.

Holidays of all kinds come chock full of good and bad, and Valentine’s is no different. It can be a glorious self-love festival or a classic candlelit dinner or a visit to the Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair or a shiny new vibrator or just another day in February. Whatever your approach to Valentine’s Day is, we’d really like to help make it a good day for everyone. If you’re looking to pick up a sex toy, book or DVD (or even a workshop!) we’ve stocked up our shelves and brushed up on our Valentine’s ideas just for you.

If you want to reject some of the consumerism of the holiday, come check out the Erotic Arts and Crafts Fair to see some of Toronto’s best crafters and artists apply their skills to the world of sex and eroticism, oh, and it is free! However you celebrate, or don’t celebrate this Valentine’s Day, we’ll still love and respect you on February 15th.
