Great Toronto-made Valentines on BlogTO

Lovely, funny and yummy food puns by Gotamago

BlogTO did a round-up of fun Valentines by local artists to let you "bypass Hallmark cheese [...] by making dorky puns, poking fun at the awkward side of relationships, or making artwork so beautiful and intricate it'll melt even the coldest, Grinchiest heart." Amongst the selection of course is some TESTy talent.

minouette's thermochromic Valentine for the nerd in your heart

simple and sweet I Heart You by HeyRube

Gorgeous, customizable, hand-cut Valentines by Light&Paper

For true love, even first thing from Sea&Lake

Hilarious puns like "I love you a waffle lot" from new TEST member Queeniescards

Happy Hanukkah!

Whichever one you celebrate...Hanukkah card by HeyRube

Best wishes to everyone beginning their celebration of Hanukkah (or Chanukah... or...) from the Toronto Etsy Street Team.

Toronto Etsy Street Team Spring Craft Show at the Gladstone

Here's a little peak of our first team sale! The sale at the Gladstone in April was a great success. Those of you who were not able to make it can have a look at the sale, venders and wares - and put some faces to our shop names. We hope this will be the first of many, so this is a peak of what is to come.



Many thanks to Pam of lurearts and her husband & videographer Nial McFadyen for making this little gem. Also, as the video states, we would like to thank Etsy for giving us a Team Grant to help promote this show! Last but not least, thanks go to Emma of LandfillDesigns for hosting the show!
