Feeling Cozy - Treat Yourself!

In addition, the Etsy section at the One of a Kind Show features the Toronto community winner of the 2014 first-ever Etsy Made in Canada, an annual nationwide pop-up marketplace in celebration of local makers across the country. Attendees of last September’s events at MaRS and OCADU nominated their favourite seller to win a free exhibit at the One of a Kind Spring Show and Sale. With an overwhelming number of entries, Etsy is excited to announce Amanda Perumal of Contra Botanic will be making her One of a Kind Show and Sale debut this spring with her incredibly lifelike, needle felted succulents.
