Simply Crafted

SIMPLY CRAFTED 647-955-3640, simplycrafted.ca


The storefronts on Dundas West across from the Wallace Avenue bridge may be relatively undiscovered (for now) but that hasn’t stopped Simply Crafted from drawing in a gift-hunting clientele from neighbouring Roncesvalles, Bloordale and the Junction. They come for its handcrafted lineup of cards, baby buys, pet finds and natural body products, sourced whenever possible from local, independent suppliers.

Wicker baskets are packed with peacock-feather- and plaid-patterned wrapping paper, a curio case holds stained glass pendants and Thymes body wash and lotions in lavender and eucalyptus scents. A SugarBooger rattle is a worthy buy for its cutesy brand name alone.

Hamro Village photo albums are designed in Toronto but fair-trade-manufactured in rural Nepal.

Simply Crafted picks: Citrus and coriander Eco Soy candles come packed in miniature enamel pots, $15.99 Triple C Designs hides a lunch compartment in the bottom of an owl-print canvas tote, $49.99 Missy Williams creates a collection of cards exclusively for the shop, including a new selection of Mother’s Day greetings, $5.95 each.

Look for: A lineup of picnic baskets, knapsacks and totes perfect for packing a High Park lunch.

Hours: Tuesday to Friday 11 am to 7 pm, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm, Sunday 11 am to 6 pm.
