The Toronto Etsy Street Team presents A Christmas Marketplace! - Vendor call!

And we're back!!

After a year hiatus, we are pleased to announce our second Christmas Marketplace!

Christmas time is prime time for craft shows so we wanted to let you know all about our cozy handmade show, at the:

Church of Saint Stephen-in-the-Fields

103 Bellevue Ave at College St, in the Kensington Market neighbourhood

Show date: Saturday December 12, 11AM - 5:00PM

We're planning an intimate show at this smaller, but central venue and we will be accepting a juried group of handmade and vintage vendors. Vendors have a choice of sharing one half of a 8 foot by 2.5 foot table (or 4' x 2.5') in the main body of the church, or bringing their own table/display for the all-purpose room (where the treats and workshops will be!)

There will be music!!

The audience had a chance to shop the market before and after Gilbert discussed her highly-anticipated new book, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear.  

We love the idea of welcoming creativity into your life, and celebrating Gilbert's book with a handmade market.
