A very festive start to the weekend!

It's only the 8th but it was quite apparent that a holiday buzz and excitement was in the air.  With a steady flow of traffic, along with a band playing in the background, the setting was ideal for shopping.

As usual, there were far too many wonderful products for sale to capture them all on this post.  I've highlighted a number though that I thought may be of interest.  

To begin, who can resist the essence of Vanilla.  A timeless scent that continually ranks within the top 5 of favoured smells.  'Very Vanilla' had a great selection of vanilla edible delights.  Prices ranged from $6 - $25.

Jewelry always stands out at this show and 'Creations by Anna' is no exception.  Modern pieces that are perfect to wear casually or for a formal event.  An average price of $25 makes these beautiful items extremely affordable.

Who can resist treats?! This booth from 'Sugar Temptations' had a creative selection of holiday goodies.  And no room for waste..even the cards can be eaten!  Their next mission should be to create edible wrapping paper, then it's the whole package - quite literally. 

There was a great selection of apparel this weekend.  In particular, 'Electropura.ca' had a large selection of shirts with great statements and fashionable patterns.  Shirts consist of recycled materials for a more environmentally sensitive approach. A great gift for your stylish child! Prices average around $45.

'Pikay Creations' had exquisite shades and shapes with their jewelry.  A beautiful balance between metallics and solid colours.  Prices ranged from $20 - $100.

'Beauty' as a descriptor certainly extended toward other products as well, in particular, the greeting cards.  'Laffin the Dark' had a wonderful selection of photographic cards that displayed a true talent for capturing nature at its best.  There was also a selection of other interesting items such as fly swatter clocks.  Prices ranged from $3 - $25.  

These dolls from 'Patricia McGregor' were amazing!  This one in particular attracted me - reminiscent of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, yet the female version :).  Unique and colourful, a fantastic gift for a collector or child.  

And last but not least, this was a great booth from 'Earth Wine & Barrel'.  They produce amazing products from wine barrels and corks.  Each piece is a work of art, suitable for anyone who wishes to include upscale decor within their homes without paying 'upscale' prices.  Prices range from $6 - $250.

Many vendors were on-site from last weekend as well so if you missed out, there's perhaps still a chance to purchase that hot item you saw on this blog.
