ETSY: MADE IN CANADA!

Hey y'all!
If you were not around this last Saturday....you missed the big show.
The 3rd annual flagship Etsy: Made in Canada show.
Hundreds of small business owning artisans all across Canada, taking time from making things to sell to the masses!
It was a fun show - and SUPER BUSY!
It was also MY BIRTHDAY!
So if you missed it...
Shame!

The show was co-hosted by the Toronto Etsy Street Team and 416Hustler - and they did a great job - I was very happy!

​The event was at the MaRS Building...which as you will see in my FEW photos, was pretty neato!

It was wonderful to see so many Etsy artisans!!
What a crazy busy day!
​Met loads of great people....but it was super packed - so there want a lot of time to check stuff out!
Here are the photos I promised:

See what I mean? I took the hall shots at 4 different times in the day!!! BUSY!!!!
Now...a complaint I had......the booths on my side were all right over the cold air grates.....

Honestly....I kinda felt like this all day long:

No....I wasn't wearing a dress.....but DAAAAAAMMMMN it was windy on top the grate!!! Eventually I had to do something....it was CCCCCCOLD! (that is me stammering from the frigid air!) I kid you not.....it also felt like this:

I put down a blanket....and that helped me from freezing solid...although it did look a tiny bit like I was having some kind of strange picnic - or perhaps like I was a homeless person....

IT WAS FINE. RAMSHACKLE - but it worked!
I did make a small error in judgement beginning this NEW piece though.....

I had to explain what it meant.......
I guess it is kinda too "gay" for everyone to get??
I had not thought that it would be something I would need to explain the mechanics of! BUT.
Note to self going forward.

On my short lunch - husband came to relieve me whilst I crammed down a turkey sammie. i became TRANSFIXED with the escalator.......

RIGHT???
IT was really really memorizing!!!!!
(could be I didn't have enough sleep though....)
THIS was what it looked like when I came back!!! 
SO 
MANY
​PEOPLE!

Which was great!

Thanks to all the great people I met!
Thanks to husband for taking care of me!
Thanks to all the folks who organized the show, it was a nice quality show, and your effort did not go unnoticed!!
OH.....and thanks to everyone that came out to support the me!!
YOU ROCK!
​See you soon!
