Joy started out as a company handcrafting and monogramming on all kinds of specialty bags and luggage made out of Cordura. After the  invention of rolling luggage, the store in the Pointe Claire Village evolved as a gift shop. Now there will be no more joy as Joy herself is retiring and the store will close. That does, however, mean that you can get fabulous clearances prices on all her merchandise.

Today we (my husband and I) taped a few scenes for Josh Freed’s next documentary called, “My Messy Life“. He interviewed people who live with clutter in their lives. Who is to say that neat is normal? There are brilliant people who have no problem with huge amounts of clutter on their desks or office, etc. Won’t tell you what we filmed here but we sure had fun with Josh and his crew (Andre and Chris).

Right now the show is supposed to air on CTV on May 31st. Will keep you posted….

The accessories are 50% of what they sold for in the store and furniture is 30% to 70% off. This is the best part – they then take an additional 20% off here. Expect to find furniture, lamps, tables, vases, sofas, shower curtains, stools, rugs, desks, mirrors, etc. This is a temporary location which could be closed by November – or not.
