Cross Canada Etsy: Toronto, Ontario

Scott went to school in Toronto, so he is a lot more familiar with Canada's biggest city than I am. I feel like it's the New York of Canada. Big and bustling and busy, full of culture and creativity. I am not a city girl at heart and I max out at about a weekend in the city, too many people for me...but I always enjoy the time that we spend there

Pauper's Bounty

I am so in love with this! The designs here are playful, feminine, and budget minded!

Beautiful silk ribbon embroidery on a variety of mediums! Plus Bumblebees make me think of spring.

The Vintage Cabin

Really interesting vintage home decor and accessories. The kind of pieces you just don't find anywhere else.

Peculiar Potions

The packaging is what drew me to this handmade bodycare company!

Cross Canada Etsy: Hometown Edition

Kingston is a great place to live, all the big city amenities with a small town feel. Lots of great old buildings and beautiful limestone. Kingston used to be the Capitol of Canada before it was moved to Ottawa and it shows in some of the architecture; our city hall is the old parliament building. Thought we'd take this chance to show some of the great Etsy shops here and give us a chance to promote our friends too!

The Thrifty Gypsies

Full disclosure, this is my sister in law <3

But her shop is so cute and she always get the best yardsale and thrift shop deals, how could I not include her? I am totally jealous of her steamer trunks and all that gorgeous Pyrex that adorns her kitchen! Check out her blog here!
And make sure to enter her giveaways!(one on her blog and one on facebook!)

Rhubarb Paper Company

Lots of adorable note cards, prints and felt ornaments.

Plus, she's been featured on Etsy's front page! Hometown pride!

Time Travel Vintage

Our friend Emily has the cutest shop full of vintage toys. If you're a fan of retro Fisher Price or Playmobil make sure to stop on by!

Mica

Beautiful jewelry made by Sophie Paolucci incorporating her love for the ocean by working with Pearls, Ocean Jasper, Turquoise and other gems she admires.

The Faded Tea Rose

Rustic, French inspired linens and decor...and they do custom orders!

Cross Canada Etsy: Halifax, Nova Scotia

A new feature for us here! We are going to be taking a cross Canada tour of Etsy, stopping in some of Canada's great cities (including our home town) and taking a look at the great Etsy shops run by some really creative and resourceful people.

Today we're taking a trip to the east coast of Canada. I've never been to Hailfax, but we did take a huge trip to PEI several summers ago and it was the most laid back and relaxing trip I've ever been on.

The people were great, friendly, welcoming, and I would def. recommend it as a place for a lazy vacay! Plus there's a great music and food culture so lets see what these creatives and putting out!
