Fun at the Festival

More than 200 unique buttons were made by visitors to the Junction Arts Festival!

For on-going enjoyment, the Wise Daughters button-maker is available to rent.

New for October

Here are just a few of the new items now available:

• Gorgeous, cozy upcycled patchwork scarves by Betty Harris.
• Screen-printed vintage ties by Epidemic Clothing.
• Stunning upcycled hairbands by Tweek. Look for Tweek’s laptop sleeves and umbrella holsters soon!

The upcycled/sustainable theme continues with t-shirts manufactured in Toronto, hand-painted with beautiful landscapes by Toronto artist Philippe Ménard.

Coming soon: Art Deco brass jewellery, charming coasters, napkins and hankies, gorgeous purses, flattering hats and funky texting gloves!
