I was browsing the aisles over the weekend, as well as came across a number of treasures. If you’re trying to find Christmas gift ideas, look no further.

These pieces from Montreal’s Ceramik B stood out for their simplicity. inspect out these organically shaped salt as well as pepper shakers.

Porcelaines Bousquet had gorgeous white vases as well as tableware. The porcelain cones above would be best for holiday entertaining.

The Saltbox Shoppe, based out of Kincardine, ON, salvages vintage doorknobs for these coat hooks — crafty! I can photo the sapphire blue knobs in a cottage entryway.

These veneer gift identifies from Flakes Paperie are an original spin on flimsy paper ones. utilize pencil to compose with to ensure that they can be reused. Their hand-crafted Christmas cards were gorgeous, too.

Heather Shaw, owner of Toronto’s Pi’lo, has explored us with her house for on the internet TV, as well as I caught up with her at the one of a Kind show to search her most current crafts. These vintage-looking stitching kits (above left) are a fantastic concept for those who like functional gifts. as well as exactly how adorable would her white feather spheres (above right) be on a basic Christmas tree with white lights?

Hailing from Hamilton, ON, Jenna increased screen-prints textiles with her own drawings. Her styles are influenced by daily life, as illustrated with this whimsical bicycle cushion.

Sandy Middleton, of Tansy & Co., integrated her background in photography with her enthusiasm for house decor. She utilizes her own original photos for these hand-crafted printed lampshades as well as repurposed window frames.

Christie Greyerbiehl’s material light boxes would make a best gift for people on your listing with bit ones. Their soft glow as well as fun drawings are so much a lot more fascinating than plug nightlights.

I’m not rather right here yet, however I couldn’t get sufficient of all the charming infant booths. Montreal-based Poids Plume utilizes 100% natural, organic cotton for their garments as well as bedding, as well as all products are hand-crafted in Quebec. These onesies were softer than a baby’s you-know-what.

Tulip+i hand-prints fun Italian phrases on blankets, bibs as well as pillows with water-based inks. I would like a “latte + biscotti” bib for myself, please.
