Tea Towels – $40.22 CAD
These hand screen printed tea towels are simply amazing.  The screen print is a sound wave which includes the sweet sounds of sizzling bacon and slurping coffee.  Would totally make a great hostess gift!  Check out KemptonJones Etsy shop for more super cool, screen printed housewares.
Invitation Set – $240.00 CAD
Paper lover Laura Velasquez is the owner and graphic designer of the shop Dreams On Paper.  If you are looking for invites or custom graphic work – she is a local artist you won’t want to miss!  Laura is a passionate graphic designer that is not only focused on design and typography- but designs every detail of your mailing process as well.
Hair Comb – $33.52 CAD
Eeep!  This handmade, flapper inspired hair comb is so wicked!  In all of our years, we have never come across curled goose feathers festooned with bats and eyeballs.  So creative and unique.  For more ghoulish hair accessories and rockabilly jewelry be sure to check out Jen’s amazing shop, Koffin Kitten.

Beaches Bracelet – $62.00 CAD
With it’s carefree attitude, this beautiful bracelet was inspired by the spirit of the Beaches neighborhood of Toronto.  Shop LianaMarieTO is full of handcrafted, timeless pieces that woman of all ages could wear.  Liana’s whimsical jewelry is inspired by popular locations in our beloved Big Smoke.
King T-Shirt – $25.00 CAD
It’s good to be king – king of the wrinkles and the World’s curliest tail!  This super soft, handsome t-shirt is created by shop H.W.B.P., a clothing label based out of Toronto.  The best part about this shop is that you get yourself a cute tee and 10% of your purchase goes to ElderDog charity, a non-profit organization.
Bear Hug – $22.35 CAD
Not much can beat a big, old bear hug.  Shop ZukZuk is filled with bright and beautiful hand drawn prints.  ZukZuk also takes inexpensive framing options into account as most of ZukZuk’s prints work will with Ikea framing options.  ZukZuk also gives back to one of the most important charities out there - $1 from each item sold goes to Amnesty International.
