Esty Made in Canada Day

Etsy hosted their first Canadian event on Sept 27th across the country.  It included Pop-up shops in 23 cities.  I am part of the Team Etsy Saskatchewan and I was very happy to have been able to participate in Saskatoon.  It was very well advertised and there were hundreds of eager shoppers lined up at the door and down the street before we opened.  

There were about 20 vendors that had quality handmade items from metalsmiths, glass artists, fibre artists, paper artists and everything in between.  It was a very busy day and we had close to 800 people through the door.  I depleted my stock of handspun and sold some finished items as well.  SOAK was a big seller, especially the 2 new scents; Fig & Yuzu.

I wasn't able to leave my booth for long, but I did purchase a couple pairs of earrings and a really unique shawl pin.

I want to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone who bought something from me.  As you may know, Jeremy and I have been taking care of a feral cat family who has been sheltering under our front porch for the last few months.  Regina Cat Rescue has given us a shelter for them and will be helping us trap them so they can be spayed/neutered and adopted out.  Their names are Mrs. Hudson (Mom), Sherlock and Watson.  I was donating 15% of my sales from the Etsy Made in Canada day to fund the spay/neuter of these cats.  Thanks to you, we raised $134.00, enough to neuter and tattoo both Sherlock and Watson!

Thanks from Watson and Sherlock

If you weren't able to make it out but wanted to shop at some of the great vendors, you can find their Etsy shops here.  It was a huge hit in every city and I hope to attend next year as well.  Thanks to everyone who came by and now I must get back to spinning so I can re-stock my shop with more yarn :D
