A huge thank you to everyone who made our third Etsy: Made in Canada
such a success! Thank you to 130 talented, gracious and generous vendors! Special
thank you to our workshop teachers and our amazing staff and volunteers;
we couldn't do this without you! Thank you to all our partners, Etsy
Canada and our hosts at MaRS Discovery District! And thank you to the
thousands of Torontonians who came to shop the show, from the hardy
earlybirds who lined up for one of the coveted swag bags to our workshop
participants of all ages and tireless shoppers throughout the day. Our
fans and customers who believe in shopping local, supporting handmade
and vintage and come to meet the sellers and shop Etsy in real life,
allow us to do what we do.
Once again this year, our show featured special sections for Fashion and Vintage sellers. This year we added a special Newbie Nook to highlight the work of new and upcoming Etsy sellers.
We hosted workshops on Photography, making Bath Bombs, Creative Holiday and Product Wrapping Design, Halloween Amigurumi, Beginner Hoop Embroidery, making Magnets & Hairclips and Wood Wobots!
We also had fun animating the space with suspended illustrations of crafty Canadian critters and paper lanters (with special thanks to Creative Bag).

Looks like it was a great show! Hopefully next year I'll be able to participate in some way. My daughter got married on the weekend, so I was busy elsewhere this year.....
ReplyDeleteThank you and congratulations to your daughter! Watch the blog for announcements about next year's show in the spring.
