Link to Canada
We are always on the lookout for anything that is Canadian made to try and make my husband feel more “at home” in our home (He is Canadian-American but has lived here since ‘96). I’ve recently come across a few sites where I can already see myself spending lots of money. Possibly even more on future gifts for my friends and loved ones living in the 51st state. Sending things via UPS is so cost prohibitive when it has to travel across the border, and we have quite a few neighbors to the north that I know would appreciate a timely birthday present for a change. Lucky them, Lucky me, Go Canada!
Jenna Rose: Home decor, mostly. I especially like the storage bags and the cotton blankets.{via d*s}
Good Egg: This site is a jackpot of Canadian handmade. Would love to have either a broken teacup necklace or these simple but tasteful tea towels. {via bloesem}
Canadian art: Took this (crappy) photo in the washroom at the Wired Monk in Cloverdale, BC and have been doing a bit of research on the artist, Connie Geerts. I like the prints but would love to own one of her original pieces one day.
Canadians on etsy: Tinywarbler handsews these amazing softies out of Vancouver and I own three. I had to cut myself off but still stalk her blog to drool over the ones I don’t have.
Avril Loreti: These would be alot of fun at Christmas.
Petit Flaneur: GAH! Kids clothes with birds on them! I’m surprised one of my nieces doesn’t have one already.
TIMELY UPDATE**
Nea: Fantastic jewelry and other goods from Montreal. On Sale this week! {via Design for Mankind}
