There are so many craft fairs in Vancouver during the holiday season. I went to Made It two weekends ago, Got Craft this past weekend and now my favourite craft fair of the year is coming up this week!

Toque

Toque 2011 - Western Frontʼs Annual Fundraising Craft Sale
Friday, December 9 from 6-10pm
Saturday, December 10 from 11am-4pm
Western Front, 303 East 8th Avenue, Vancouver

Proceeds from Toque support the Western Front Society, an artist run centre and non-profit registered charity. Held in the 1920s heritage setting of the Western Front in Vancouver, this fundraiser is a great way to support your artistic community.

This year they will have cocktails and snacks, on-site book binding by Publication Studio and an outside surprise by Tin Can Studio. Raffle prizes to be won including a beautiful Linus Dutchi bike courtesy of Whoa! Nellie Bikes and a kidsʼ craft table on Saturday courtesy of Collage Collage.

I always start my Christmas shopping at Toque, with a glass of wine in hand and good friends. Here are a couple of my favourite purchases from the past few years.
