VENDORS
Here are some of the vendors that will be taking part in the Leslieville Flea.
JARRED – “Jarred is a “high-maintenance hobby” of newlywed couple Chris and Andrea. They make wine jellies, flavoured salts, and spice rubs, but it all started with a variety of flavours of apple butter. During apple season, they get apples from a variety of local orchards, and try to use as many fresh ingredients as possible, such as farm fresh pumpkins roasted themselves, and cayenne peppers grown directly in their home garden. The apples are slow cooked for anywhere from 8-24 hours, and then blended for a smooth texture. This allows the apples to cook peel and all for added nutrients. Once the apple butter is ready, it’s jarred and sealed making it shelf-stable for up to a year. Once opened, jars are good in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, though most customers find they’ve eaten it all well before then! (*all products are vegan)”
WINDY HILL BARN – “Downtown Moose” began about 6 years ago with hand etched wine glasses and eventually branched out into a variety of glassware and hurricanes. When Dale started creating display units for selling her glassware, she found that she enjoyed it so much that now it has branched out into the barn with some “upcycled” furniture. Dale also just can’t resist collecting and curating beautiful vintage/antique items and unique artistic items.”
VINTAGE 30 – “Jenny of Vintage 30 has a great outlook on decorating with Vintage in the home — “Vintage lovers unite! I trust that you, like me, tend to be more enchanted with rare, one of a kind objects that have a story to tell. So lets banish blah and boring and adorn with quirky, primitive, and usual. Yes! that cat telephone matches your Flamingo Print. Of course a houndstooth stool pairs nicely with a floral Louis Chair. And absolutely spice up your beige living room with a bright teal tv console and hand-hooked rug. There is always room for more personality!””
UNION LABEL VINTAGE – “Union Label Vintage is the product of Lynn Carmichael, a dealer in vintage fashion and collectibles for over 20 years. Lynn will be bringing fashions for both men and women, as well as jewelry and accessories. You can expect a curated selection of vintage home accessories and decor.”
MUIZEE – “Muizee is bringing the newly launched Initial Charm Necklace to The Leslieville Flea in January! Something simple and personal never goes out of style. Layer letters to create something truly personal for that special someone on your list. The chain is 18″ in length and each charm is hand stamped with love and 14K gold fill.
