3/ Ceramics from Gabrielle Burke.
4/ Delicious Mellifera Bees Honey (love the lavender-infused).
5/ Some rosemary (or coconut or hazelnut or ginger) shortbread from Half Baked.
6/ Earrings and necklaces from Only Child Handicrafts (love the Christmas ornaments, too).
7/ Cool (often Vancouver centric) hand printed t-shirts from KT & Paul.
8/ Hand-blended and smoked gourmet salts from The Salt Dispensary (think truffle, garlic and smoked applewood maple bacon)
9/ A terrarium from Green With Envy (plants make people happy).
10/ A scarf from Veespoke.

The good folks at Got Craft have gathered together some of the finest artisans, designers and makers in the city into one location this weekend in order to deliver the best in local and handmade quality with mall-style convenience. This event is an annual Scout favourite, and definitely one of the best craft shows we have in Vancouver. Support local, folks!
