Meeka's Creations
I make toys for the young and young at heart from the traditional sock monkey to the not so traditional sock elephant...Who doesn't need a Sock monkey right? Wait…you already have one? But there is so much more at my table! Monkeys, Monsters, Elephants and more. Not just sock creatures. I also have hand painted monsters and small printed dolls that people of all ages will enjoy.. (Even those husbands that get dragged to said shows love to pick up a hand designed "nerdy" action figure) I try to keep my table fresh by adding something new each year. This year it is large scale pop culture pillows - perfect for throw pillows or snuggling with by the fire.
There are only 46 days until the Gowling Christmas & Holiday Craft Show! Today we present to you Limited Leather.

Float or Fly
The jewellery designed by Float or Fly aims to creates a modern and functional version of the ancient art of chain maille. Each piece is handmade from individual metal rings that are opened, hooked together, then closed using a pair of pliers. Bracelets, necklaces, hair accessories and keychains are among the pieces crafted with love and care in Carp, Ontario.
