Guide Definition Mother’s Day Candle, Market Candle Company, Booth L-06 ($22)
Of the three Mother’s Day candles in their collection, the Guide Definition candle captures the essence of clarity, encouragement, and a steady presence. Bright lemon opens the fragrance with a clean, energizing lift, while delicate jasmine softens the heart. A smooth base of cashmere musk lingers, creating a sense of calm direction and balance. Perfect as a meaningful gift for a mentor, a moment of personal reset, or a candle to bring focus and clarity into your space. The star of the market, for me, by a mile!

Dangle Earrings, Tweak, Booth B-34 ($34)
A little retro earring with a modern twist. These dangles will make you feel special without being over the top (not that there’s anything wrong with being over the top!). The earrings are on brass v-shaped earwires and feature natural stones and electroplated hematite. I brought home this pair with white pearls that’s not available on their website. But I’m already eyeing a similar pair with black tourmaline.

Heart Mug, FACE, Booth K-04 ($60)
Creator Marie-Lou seeks to spark an emotional connection with those who admire and use her pottery. She hopes that her creations bring a touch of beauty and inspiration to the daily lives of those who welcome them into their homes. I certainly fell in love with her large heart mugs. A perfect expression of warmth.

Honey Soda, Backed By Bees, Booth Q-35, ($12.99 for a 4-pack)
Crafted in Nature. Powered by Honey. Backed by bees pours all the nutrients of their farm fresh wildflower honey into every batch of their Honey Soda. Lightly sparkling.  All natural with no added flavourings, dyes, gluten, or caffeine. I plan on making myself a lovely gin cocktail with this delicious fizz. You can also book mom a mead tasting or beekeeping date on their grounds in Burlington.

Original Peanut Butter Cup, Bruce County Nut & Fudge, Booth N-48 ($8 each, 3 for $20)
Um, Yumm. This Belgian Chocolate Cup is filled with Bruce County Nut & Fudge’s signature peanut filling. I’m a huge fan of this classic flavour profile. But stick around for the wide range of pbcub flavours from Skor to Ritz Cracker to Pistachio. Fabulous.

Tufeted Brooch with Beaded Evil Eye DORA NOLA, Booth G-29 ($89)
An amazing hand-tufted brooch featuring a beaded all-seeing eye. I’d love to hang one of these on the side of one of my bags or pin it to my quilted jacket. Each piece is unique, created with wool and silky fringe. Dora Nola’s coordinating hand-tufted purses are also amazing. If I’d been driving I would have yelled, “Stop the car!”

Dainty Violet Flower Studs, Erin Ellerker, Booth G-33 (~$34)
Nothing says spring has sprung quite like a violet. And I’m smitten by these realistic looking beauties crafted in polymer clay by Erin Ellerker. Like most mums, these violets may look dainty, but you know they’ll never shrink.
