I took it back to this store. I didn't have any proof that I had purchased the candle from them but they were awesome about it. In fact, the owner(?) manager was terrific!! \Though it turned out that the problem was me, not the candle (I had used faulty batteries) she cheerfully told me that she would take a look at it and see if it was defective. She CALLED ME later to say that the candle behaved itself and the problem was with my batteries but there was never even the slightest glimmer of recrimination. That takes talent. You rock, Karen Cho!

I've been here 3x in a row, and if you are an early bird, then definitely get a VIP pass so you can bypass the line in the morning. I'm more like an afternoon bird lolll, so going around 1 or 2pm was ideal since there is little to no wait at the door. The event is free. I have friends who are vendors at this event. Tables are assigned randomly. Food vendors are always to the right side of the event space. People are absolutely talented and so creative! Shoutouts to some of my favourite vendors: Aunty Kelly's, Loveli Atelier, and Cloooodles!

This event took place on June 22, 2024. The event was free. There was an early bird deal where you could purchase a $20 ticket ($5 off the regular price) to get VIP access. It meant that you got a timed entry slot to arrive instead of waiting in line. You also got an exclusive Happy Cute Mart tote and a plush keychain. I went for VIP access. My timed entry was between noon and 2 pm. I had no problem driving over to Thornhill Community Centre. I have passed by it often over the years, but had never dropped by until yesterday. Parking was busy due to this event, along with community centre activities and folks studying at the library. I managed to nab a parking spot near the west entrance of the community centre. I then headed over to line up. The south entrance was the entry-exit point for this event. I had bought my VIP ticket so long ago that I forgot that I didn't need to wait in line. I bolted out of the lineup once I made that realization and hit the right side of the south entrance. A man greeted me. He let me know that the table with the yellow tote bags was where I'd get my VIP ticket's QR code scanned. Nice! I got my ticket scanned. I got a cute tote bag with a small plushie keychain in it. I got confused when the two women said that I could buy merchandise further down the table. I declined and went in. This event had over 85 vendors. There were snacks and food for purchase when I started. I wanted all that towards the end of my stay. The variety was great, but everything sold out quickly. I was shopping and browsing, doing my thing. I heard my name. It was Queenie who spotted me from a distance. It's pretty cool when you have a good relationship with a plushie pusher... haha! She wanted to say hi. She could tell that I got VIP access holding my cheerful yellow tote in hand. The vendor variety was amazing. I can't list all of them, but I will list those that I ended up making purchases, in buying order: - Flair Fighter - waterproof stickers (BMO, Hello Kitty, Keroppi, and Ditto) - Paige Draws - crocheted bear - The CroChic Shop - crocheted keychains (Grogu, R2-D2, and Patrick Star) - BathBunny - Miffy plushie and keychain - YenYen Design - penguin stickers - Honograms - kewpie mayo plushie - The Little Bird Designs - gummy bears belt bag - Sterling Six Threads - McDonald's popsicle characters t-shirt - Little Bakes of Kindness - colossal cookies and mini sausage buns - Queenie's Cards - Penny the pineapple bun plushies This event was well-organized. It did get a little congested with customers standing there while others were trying to pass by in the middle row. Otherwise, it was great speaking with new vendors and saying hi to a couple of familiar ones. Queenie had a Kickstarter for Penny the pineapple bun plushie. Her Kickstarters generally exceed the targeted pledge goal because her designs are cute. Shipping was factored into the price of each plushie. However, those who were coming to this event could opt to pick their goodies here. I did just that. She asked me how many additional Penny plushies I wanted, to make up for the shipping cost in my pledge. I wasn't greedy and opted for one. Before I left this show, I asked Queenie if I could pick up my plushies. She didn't give me two. I got six. Holy cow! It was incredibly generous of her. It also speaks volumes on how great our relationship is. I will keep two. I need to give four away to good homes. I'm extremely happy with my purchases. Some other highlights: - My gummy bears belt bag has two pockets in addition to the main one. The strap is also long. I love it. It's the perfect belt bag for me because I wear it more as a crossbody bag. - The mini sausage buns were on the secret menu. I originally wanted a box featuring mochi cookies and pineapple buns. They were sold out when I returned. I did get two colossal cookies. Both the sausage buns and cookies were delicious! - The three folks at Paige Draws were all undergraduate students. There was a sign that said to support them through university... haha I had a wonderful time. Now, I'm poor! I'm pleased with my purchases and look forward to this event next year. (241)

So during our exhaustive search to figure out how we were going to do our wedding invitations, we…read morewent to designers, Paper Place, other crafts stores, and eventually we have decided to do what I originally had set out to avoid. DIY. A friend of mine introduced me to Spicers (formally known as Coast Paper). The address takes you directly to their warehouse. Turns out they supply a lot of printing companies and designers with paper - well here's the source! And they have a Cash and Carry where you can come and and buy it yourself (without the markup). It ended up becoming 70% cheaper. I mean, we're looking at $900 (from a top Toronto designer) to $300 (including printing and paper), where we've designed our own with the help of a friend, and printing at TPH. Assembly was always going to be a group effort anyway. When you first walk in there, the entrance is on the side of where the docks are. Turn left and you're in this room that looks empty. They have pages upon pages of different suppliers and brands. You'll be overwhelmed. I also found the guy a bit curt and intimidating - but turns out he just is high strung and more than willing to help. We flipped through some books, but had no clue, basically just asked him for card stock and white paper for invitations. He's worked with so many designers, that he will give good quality choices at a good price. So my suggestion is to go there with an idea of colour and weight for what you want. Be sure to also ask for samples, he gave me a few sheets for free! We took it back, and after finalizing on numbers, I went back to order the paper (you can also do this on the phone). The paper we got was some nice cardstock coming in 28" x 40" sheets at $1.50 each (compare to some other places at $3 each). We also got some ivory linen (to paste on the inside) for around the same price for a big sheet. They also sell envelopes of different weight and textures. We got a fancy one at $40 for 250. They also will cut for you at a fixed cost $25 and he'll add $5 for each additional type of paper/cut. (We have to cut it down for the printers) Upon my 2nd visit, he was much nicer and joked around that my invitations now have cost me $1.80 each including printing, and that any designer out there will charge about $6 a piece. He has a point. I would recommend going this way for anyone looking for a cheap way to do their invitations and have some sort of design sense.
