Etsy Holiday Pop-up Shop

Vancouver is full of good surprises during Christmas season - especially for a person who loves cute, romantic things to celebrate the holiday!

My good friend who is well aware of my craze for cute things told me about Etsy Holiday Pop-up Store at 434 Columbia Street in Vancouver. A pop-up shop is a store that opens for a short term providing exclusive products to the customers to introduce the brand. Etsy being an online shop, and hence I don't get to see the actual products before I make a purchase, I thought this would be a great opportunity to see the products and local Etsy shop owners.

Circle Craft Christmas Market Vancouver 2014

"Located on Granville Island in the Net Loft, Circle Craft Co-operative features the work of over 150 craftspeople from across British Columbia. As Canada's most successful craft co-operative, Circle Craft has been a major force in promoting craft in BC since 1972." 

Enjoying my day off in the middle of the week, Viv and I were delighted to see such variety of artisan goods! Today was exceptionally beautiful fall weather - getting somewhat chilly already but we are quite tolerable with anything as long as it doesn't rain here in Vancouver. We prejudged the market and thought couple hours into our parking meter would be plenty time to browse. But no no no! We ended up getting our hands stamped for re-entry. MANY MORE photos & vendors after the jump! ;-)
