The One of A Kind Show - Christmas Edition
November 23, 2012
You may recall in the spring I went to the One of A Kind Show here in Toronto. Well, last night I had the chance to go again on the opening night of the Christmas Edition and discovered that as good as the spring show was, the Christmas show is even better – it’s bigger so there are more marvellous things to be seen.
This time round I knew what I was getting into so was more prepared – I wore runners and jeans instead of my work clothes and shoes. If you go dress comfortably – you’ll be there for a while, and there are about 800 artists showing their work so there is a lot of walking to be done. Coat check is only $2, so make use of that as well – there’s no point in carrying your coat around with you. Seeing the show will take several hours, but they do have a free re-admission pass if you want to split your visit up into two shorter visits.
Quite a number of the artists I featured after the spring show were there again (you can see those posts here and here) and as much as I still love their work I tried to feature new ones below (with one exception).

Omg thank you for this post! Now I am ever MORE excited to go!!! I am totally eying (is that spelled right?) those felt animals. You might have some competition
ReplyDeleteOoh great finds!! I don't know if I'm going to make it this year, but I'm trying! LOVE the animal heads! I'm kind of loving that hen painting too...normally not a farm animal lover but I love the way she paints!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm headed to the One of A Kind Show next week and am really looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so bright, beautiful and festive! Would love to go there...
ReplyDeleteIf you are doing a course at Restyle in the new year and are planning to do the 2-day bring your own piece you should do the Jan 13-14 that I am teaching! Would be fun to have a familiar face there!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I love the OOAK - I usually fall in love with about 100 things. Good point about the comfy shoes. And silly me has been dragging around my heavy coat for years - will DEFINITELY do the coat check next time!
ReplyDeleteSound like an excellent plan! I must find the perfect chair first though . . . Craigslist here I come!
ReplyDeleteYup - it leaves your hands free to buy more stuff :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post!! I have NEVER gone - this is always something else going on for me to make the trek to Toronto. I am hoping maybe next time I can go, but I loved this little taste of what I missed. Great post!
