As of late, Torontoist has become slightly obsessed with the talents of others. I think it may have to do with the fact that we’re not crafty-at all. And finding ways in which to showcase and sell your crafty ways may prove a bit difficult, unless laying out your wares on the sidewalks of Queen Street is more up your alley. Saying that, we must get the word out to fellow Torontonians about this site we’ve stumbled upon and have spent much too much time browsing, Etsy. This site, which is incredibly designed and will most definitely inspire an intense desire to make something (or buy just about anything you could ever want). You can browse a huge catalogue of all things handmade, by a large collection of crafty people from just about anywhere in the world. DIY Torontonians are out in full force; check out shops like Fox Shop, Elm Designs and Kitsch Klothing. Go on open up a shop, you know you want to!
