CRAFTS: More than twenty local Etsy artisans will combine their talents in an effort to sell wares today at the Gladstone Hotel. The Spring Handmade Market will feature many impulse purchase opportunities, such as Allthingssmall's adorable sewn mice (and the above-pictured penguins), Eyesore Design's cool record album notebooks, and Stitchface's painfully cute eco-friendly stuffed woodland creatures. For more information on vendors, and interviews with the artisans, check out the market's official blog. Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen Street West), 11 a.m.–4 p.m., FREE.
