I made it to the Made By Hand Show at the International Centre on Saturday. There were lots of really cute children’s things that I’d like to share with you!
I’m putting everything into a slideshow with the company’s information in the caption below each photo in case something looks interesting to you. If you’d like to browse the photos at your own pace, just click a photo and it will open up into a lightbox.
At this show they had Face Painting and free balloon animals by Farco Enterprises, and a visit from Cinderella. I didn’t bring my daughter with me this time so I could focus on the show, but it seemed like the children enjoyed the balloon animals and face painting. I didn’t catch sight of Cinderella myself but a friend did and is considering booking her for her daughter’s birthday party- she was that good!
The next Made By Hand Show is on October 27th at the International Centre again in Mississauga. Enjoy!

I went with my 3 year old and I actually got to enjoy the show. She was in her stroller and the balloon she got as we walked in kept her happy for quite some time. The food options where very limited (pizza or sandwich) but I came prepared. Lot’s of creative items, allot of sews items too!
Cinderella was great! But the arts & crafts table was too small (round coffee table) and always crowded so we didn’t take part in the card making). Most booths only accepted cash.
