When I go to the One of a Kind Craft Show tomorrow in Toronto I will seek out one of my favourite vendors – Joanne Jones of Mined Recreations, Cambridge. In fact, I purchased my discount admission via the email link she sent to me. I met Joanne a few years ago at Toronto’s [...]

I can’t put this factory sale in the Bargain Buys category but it is definitely a discount on a quality product. Two years in a row, while accompanying my husband on business related trips, I admired the very simple but chic bag carried by his colleague. She used it as a purse and carry-all combined and…. though [...]
