So It's been a few days now since The One Of a Kind Show in Toronto,
It was so wonderful to go with my family. Even my cousins wife's brother was there with his wife and son so we had lunch together, We were there for 8 hours constantly walking. We sat down for lunch for 10 minutes and another 5-6 minutes at the end waiting for others to get back from bathroom breaks of course. It was how ever very exhausting. I didn't get as many gifts for people as I would have liked because there were so many things to see with over 500 vendors there. But I got a gift for my dad which I will post about around Christmas when he opens it and I got some other things.
I got some cards from my favorite vendors so i'm going to post them here with their websites so you can check them out too!
So to start I must do so with my absolute favorite! I went last year and I was treated like an absolute gorgeous barbie and I came back this year and bought my favorite shirt off her and she even remembered me from last year.

I bought her lovely black shirt that can be worn in over 7 different ways, and turns into a dress and a skirt as well.
My Second Favorite was
Art + Illustrations by Hoi-An Tang
http://mehoi.com/shop/art
She has thee cutest art pieces and I think she was one of the booths that myself and Barry found our selves spending the most time in looking at all her cute pins and art. She had art from cute animals wearing capes to girls with little f*ck you sayings to pins with bacon and dildo pictures on them lol They were seriously fun.
Him Creations is next!
This booth was absolutely Kawaii in all sense. She creates little 100% wool art creatures just by poking the wool with a cute little needle. She also sells little kits so you can make some of your own creations. (Picture is a wool cat creation on top of a real cat)
The next booth unfortunatly doesn't have a website that I can share with you as their card only gives me a name and their email but I guarantee they are a wonderful creative booth. it's called;
Cocorico Studio
email: cocorico.studio@yahoo.ca
They create beautiful things with hand blown glass. She had some of the cutest quills with ink pots, drink stirs, general art glass pieces, jewelry an more that were just all very much gorgeous!
Now Lucli Lucich
She had the most wonderful art there in my opinion, purple bears, yellow pigs and green moose!
She even had a section where she showed us how she went about painting her party animals!
Brad Jesson was there again which was wonderful
He does some of the most lovely art I have ever seen
Glass art as well and it's glass like you've never seen!
Oil Paintings by Richard Ahnert
absolutely wonderful mind boggling pieces of animals with human characteristics.
The Rover Boutique
Wonderfully cute pieces for your cat or dog companion.
Fuel Glassworks
These pieces made me and Barry take a step back and really wish we won the lottery because we would have made him rich with the things he had to offer!
If you can't tell in the photo provided he makes lovely tables out of large pieces of wood and fills them with molten glass and the way they turn out is GORGEOUS!
Botania Fresh Soaps
A wonderful array of fresh all natural soaps!
I bought 3 of these soaps for $20 each soap can last up to 3 months if kept dry and not in a soap dish which would hold a lot of water. the soaps I bought were; Lemon Poppy Seed, Passion Fruit, & Barry got one called Stone Henge.
We have used the last 2 so far and they're absolutely lovely on your skin and smell so so great!
Dorval Designs
This was another of my favorites, even my niece loved his work!
He is a self taught saw artist in Milton, Ontario.
Gorgeous pieces, they are all saw cute pieces of wood designs all pieces are a single piece of wood made into pictures of your favorite characters. artists, and more!
And last but not least Mr. Gerry Richard
A great place to buy beautifully designed home decor items - all handcrafted from domestic or exotic woods. Each piece is designed and manufactured with the highest standard of quality.
This is the man I bought my dads gift with (note the picture shown is not what I got my father).
Needless to say I had a wonderful time, met some really great people, and bought some really cool things!
