Dec 2 and Day 2!

The weather, although rainy, has not dampened the arrival of people coming through to check out today's splendid selection.  Quite a few vendors were at the show yesterday but a large number came only for today, and perhaps might return for another day, but you'll have to come by and check out the show to be certain!

Once again, there are far too many goodies to capture in this post but I've highlighted quite a few to showcase the diversity yet again.

These jewelry pieces really stood out for their uniquely stylish yet rugid quality.  Some of the colours appeared electric - in particular the green earnings.  This jewelry is designed by 'Clockwork Zero' with prices ranging from $15 - $100.

I found these pendants and hair clips to be particularly charming and colourful!  Bright colours are very popular right now so these are right on trend.  Designed by  'dandytiger', the prices are really affordable from $2 - $20.

I thought these items were quite unique.  If you're tired of mass production tree ornaments that lack imagination, then look no further.  'Sam-Urai' offers Zombie Ghost ornaments, and glass balls with beautiful origami shapes and colours inside.  Prices range from $3 - $30.

I absolutely love these mugs!  Place one of these on your desk at work for a great conversation starter.  The clocks were quite magnificent as well. Designed by 'Rosa's Butterfly', they had a diverse range of items that were priced from $5 - $200.

These beautiful indigenous handmade leather bags and makeup cases were exquisite.  Made by 'My Maasai', prices were affordable ranging from $5 - $75.

Ok this booth was unlike any other I've seen yet at the Artisans' Gift Fair.  Designed by an engineer, you could purchase jewelry with embedded coloured lights that flashed based off of your heartbeat or pulse.  In addition, one can purchase bands that vibrate based off of the direction you're heading - ie. north.  These are very practical for hikers. Designed by 'Sensebridge', prices range from $29 - $199.

'With an Indian Touch' had a charming booth, consisting of beautiful stationary booklets and bookmarks.  These pieces appeared as though they were for royalty and definitely an appropriate gift for someone extra special.  Prices ranged from $3 - $45.

This display really caught my eye.  'Patu' had a beautiful arrangement of painted glass and paper art ornaments.


















A very contemporary look with a range of sizes.  Prices were from $7 - $30.

If you like colour then you need to check out Joseph Sagaj's work.  These original watercolour paintings and bookmarks were eye-popping.  Prices range from $10 - $150.

And speaking of colour, this booth was positively charming with a multitude of coffee sleeves.  A great idea! Who knew that holding a hot cup of coffee or tea could look so stylish and fun.  A 'Made By Marian Harriet' design with prices ranging from $5 - $35.

Yet another charming booth in which colour and style were prevalent.    These beautiful pieces were crayon holders!  A great idea for your kids, especially when traveling.  Designed by 'Green Carbon Living', prices were very affordable from $5 - $15.

I got a kick out of this booth.  'Green Bean' had the funniest and charming cards.  Come by and take a peek to read the cute or amusing messages.  They also develop bookmarks, art prints and more.  Prices range from $4 - $22.

This was a popular booth, in particular the facial scrub.  When was the last time you heard of a 100% natural product that was well priced?!  You could obtain a jar for only $4.99!  Needless to say, they were going fast.  All of these natural products ranged from $4.99 - $19.99.

A picture does not do these cute and rather large stuffed monkeys justice.  Designed by 'Curious Monkey', these knitted monkeys were extremely plush, soft and full of vibrant colours.  I doubt any child would want to put one of these guys down.  Each one sells for $100 and no two are identical.

Another great selection of contemporary fashionable looks.  Fitted t-shirts and scarves with unique imprints were to be found at the booth of 'E.E.L. Apparel'.  Each item was $10.

Charming is the best word to describe the knitted tops at the 'Teenie Knits' booth.  The colours were lovely and the sweaters were so soft!  A great gift for a newborn up to a 4 year old. Prices ranged from $20 - $40.

So this weekend wrapped up on a high with many satisfied customers.  Be sure to come by next weekend and check us out! Remember, there will be a new selection of goodies to see!
