This week we’re celebrating “Handmade for Him” , since we’ve noticed a distinct lack of selection for Men at other markets. We’ve made a point since our first show to have offerings that appeal to Men, beyond the usual offerings of T-shirts, because everyone deserves to have something meaningful and handmade in their wardrobe.

We’ve (almost) made it to the weekend, and this week has really had us thinking about intention… and how sometimes the intention need only be known by the person wearing the item, for it to be truly extra special. Take, for example, Joanna Lovett Sterling. Often Joanna’s pieces serve to be mementos, reminders and promises....Read More

This week is all about intention, with designers who think beyond just looking good and who ask deeper questions, designers like Kate Pierre, designer of kate&frances. We love the versatility of kate&frances, with pieces designed as a continuation of an idea (instead of a single, seasonal collection) and we have been big fans of Kate’s blog,...Read More

Our focus this week is on Thoughtful Design, and today we are profiling Supernova by Blackhole Clothing!

It’s Tuesday and we’re back at it, refreshed after a day off and ready to focus our intention on the week before us… and to profile designers this week who design from an intentional point of view: from zero waste to meaningful mementos, we’re meeting designers who combine thought and action. Today we’re jumping right...Read More

Hey everyone, it’s Friday, the day after Valentine’s Day, and we all have a bit of a Love Hangover… but that’s ok, we’ll totally eat another chocolate thank-you-very-much! And the beautiful bouquets? Keep ’em coming, especially if you know Jessica Redditt, because she’s made flowers (and plants) an important part of her collection! We first...Read More

We’ve got snow on the ground but Spring is still definitely in our sights here on the West Coast, when hands officially come out of mittens and start showing off rings and things… so we are eagerly anticipating our Spring Market, and the First Pick Handmade debut of Vancouver based jewellery collection She’s So.  ...Read More

Hey, remember a few weeks back we all had our Instagram feeds filled with posts stating that only 7% of followers were being reached by posts? We know our reach has dropped quite a bit since this time last year, and as a small business representing 30+ other small businesses we *really* want everyone to...Read More

We’re all about the simple, the neutral and the natural this week, and  edited leather goods collection Joseph Henry Workshop will certainly fit right into any minimalist lifestyle without sacrificing aesthetics, design or quality. Neil Singh joins us again at Heritage Hall, bringing his handcrafted, small batch accessories. Neil’s company was named for his Father...Read More
