For you, your home or your cottage – the show offers some very special inventory, from some very special vendors.
The show features decorator finds and one-of-a-kinds, retro, vintage and antiques that have been sourced from near and far.
Come to think of it, it’s almost like having 75 personal shoppers scouring the globe – just for you!

The show has grown so much in recent years- this is our largest show ever. Of course all of your favourites will all be there- offering a spectacular inventory of great furnishings for your home, cottage or condo. There are also great designer finds, art, glassware, vintage couture, fun fleas, rich textiles and more.

I’m also really excited to tell you that, for the first time, I Miss You Vintage will be participating (named Toronto’s top vintage retailer by Toronto Life Magazine). We also attracted a number of other top-notch vintage fashion vendors from Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa – so Moms make sure to tell your daughters! In addition, Ottawa’s own retro furnishings specialists Found Design will be exhibiting for the first time.

We’ve also added to our roster of fine jewellery merchants including Toronto’s Antique Diamond. Most of you already know, but it’s worth repeating, that much of jewellery you see at the show is virtually one-of-a-kind and offers unsurpassed value.

Hope to see you there.

country furniture- the Sale features the region's best selection of country furniture, from pine to oak to walnut - but remember - it's under one roof for 2 1/2 days only!
vintage fashion - as named by Toronto Life Magazine, Toronto's best vintage retailer "I Miss You Vintage" will be at the show for the first time. In addition, Toronto's Ian Drummond collection (a supplier of vintage and retro fashion to television and movies) will also be participating for the first time.
antiques- they can add a special look to your house or condo, from classic to refined to kitschy. The addition of one or two well chosen, well placed antiques makes a statement like nothing else.
luxury diamonds & jewellery- antique and vintage jewellery is a bit of an insiders' secret! Insiders know that many types of jewellery (think diamonds) can be easily compared with "new". What insiders also know is that apart from the highly desirable settings, antique and vintage jewellery is often half the price of new! Don't be left on the outside - come in and see for yourself!
retro furnishings- the coolest furniture on the planet, brought to you by Found Design.
shabby chic- a look that you create by gathering together all the parts. Sometimes you have to look past the peeling paint or the dented wood or the frayed wire. Sometimes you need to see the big picture that's in your imagination. Can you see it?

fun fleas- these kind of "fleas" don't buzz - but they certainly create one! Loads of goodies from the wacky to the wonderful.
passport to Paris- Did you know that participating Dealer Phillipe Pallafray ran an auction house in Paris? That means Phillipe has great sources in Paris where he returns each summer to buy - don't miss it!
terrific textiles- if you love that invitingly cozy look in decorator magazines where a magnificent quilt is draped over an over-stufed couch - then you'll love digging through the quilts and textiles at the show. Of special interest is Montreal based textile specialist "Jill Marvin" and Brockville based "Dovetails and Square Nails".
