friendly neighbourhood costume shoppe making the imaginable,
possible.
In 2011, with the last of three
children leaving home, Alison Pentland was ready to
re-enter the work force. An anthropologist by education
and a self-professed Canadian history junkie, the
aha moment for Fee Fi Fo Fun came
about when she remembered how much time she had wasted
in cars trying to find costume accessories for school
projects, dance recitals, plays or to find good quality
dress-up to give as gifts.
After two years of searching, Alison found a location
in Clarkson Village at 1842 Lakeshore Road W., directly
across from HomeSense. On April 1st, 2011, she launched
a website www.feefifofun.ca
and opened a small bricks & mortar shop with a
washroom and lots of parking. Soon after, Alison added
a helium balloon counter and a selection of toys that
"compliment the costume, like a wooden train
whistle that can pair with the Engineer's overalls,
hat, gloves and bandana."
Alison's passion is to offer unique products and she
places emphasis on local-made like the wooden Tickle
Trunk made in Ontario and the Great Pretenders line
whose pink fairy dresses are Made in Canada. She frequently
arranges for artists to create one-of-a-kind costume
pieces like our wizard wands.
Kids say that Fee Fi Fo Fun is the
coolest store ever and parents find it small, friendly
and fun - filled with child-scaled products and knowledgeable
staff.
