The Toronto One of a Kind Christmas Show and Sale<\/a> is on now until December 5th.   With 800 artisans, it\u2019s a great venue to shop for yourself or for those on your Christmas list.  It\u2019s almost twice as big as the Spring show<\/a> so you will be sure to find something that catches your attention.<\/p>\n

A few of my favourite things:<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

\"DSC01353\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Skart<\/a> screen prints whimsical images onto wood blocks \u2013 perfect for a child\u2019s bedroom or playroom.  Love the owls!  P.S. They have a $3 off coupon for the show on their site.<\/p>\n

 \"Owl

Speaking of owls,  how adorable are these owl pillows by Hilary Cosgrove<\/a>?   (photo taken from her Etsy<\/a> site.)<\/p>\n

\"DSC01356\"

I bought some  swanky earrings from Calgary-based metalsmith Gillian Hillerud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 \"DSC01355\"

Love these pillows from Rock my Soul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01361\"

Love the use of colour and the detail in Tammy Shane\u2019s<\/a> paintings.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01365\"

Photographer Sarah Tacoma<\/a> applies paint and resin to her photographs.  I\u2019m loving this window and door series \u2013 these small pieces are a great way to start your art collection.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01360rev\"

Love the linen tea towels and organic cotton yoga mat totes (I bought the green dragonfly one!) from Rain Goose Textiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"I

\"C

I love, love, love the work of photographer Charlene Serdan<\/a>. I bought the print of the ferris wheel and the cupcake photograph on a wood block for my daughter\u2019s playroom art wall<\/a>.  She is only 8 years old but has a real appreciation for art and couldn\u2019t wait to hang them up!<\/p>\n

\"DSC01381rev\"

Sculpted Light<\/a> makes organic lights and lanterns from handmade paper which is made from plant materials gathered from her garden and her neighbourhood park.  Now that\u2019s eco-friendly!<\/p>\n

\"DSC01371rev\"

No, I\u2019m not usually a fan of animal print anything but these zebra ceramic pieces from Montreal-based Catherine Auriol<\/a> are eye-catching and unique.<\/p>\n

<\/a>

<\/a>
\"DSC01373rev\"

I loved Erin Vincent\u2019s<\/a> art when I spied it at the Artist Project<\/a> earlier this year.  I would be quite happy owning  the \u201csettee\u201d or the \u201cball jar\u201d paintings (honey, are you reading this?)<\/p>\n

\"DSC01376\"

My friend Lisa checking out the headbands, hats and mitts from This is J<\/a>.  I would love to own every single one of their headbands – so pretty!<\/p>\n

\"DSC01379\"

It\u2019s becoming more difficult to find locally made clothing.  Not only is the children\u2019s clothing from Redfish Kids<\/a> made in Canada but your little one will be oh so fashion forward.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01380\"

Love these aprons from Domistyle<\/a> which come in adult and children\u2019s sizes. I bought one a couple of years ago as a gift for my daughter\u2019s friend.  All of the designs feature hand drawn original artwork that is silk screened onto the fabric.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01386rev\"

Besides the items mentioned above, I also purchased lavender shortbread from the Coach House Shortbread Company<\/a> (great hostess gift) and handmade glycerin soap from Demo<\/a> (great stocking stuffers.)  Lisa, you were right \u2013 the shortbread never made it as a hostess gift, they were gone in a few hours of bringing them home!<\/p>\n

If you have some time this week or weekend, you must visit the show.  Let me know what your favourite finds or purchases were.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make it to the show or live out of town, be sure to check out the websites and etsy shops of the artisans<\/a>.  Supporting home-grown talent and owning one of a kind pieces is an opportunity not to be missed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
