Super fantastic news for crafters and gift-givers alike: Artisans from across Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Halton Hills will be showing off their handmade goods – in person – as the first Etsy market takes place in Halton Region on Saturday.
“Buying handmade means you are buying from a person,” said Milton-based captain Melissa Lowry.
“You are supporting and building your local community.”
