I’m so excited to share that our third Community & Connection Market at Taste of Colombia is happening on Saturday, December 13th, from 10 AM to 1 PM! ☕🎁
Taste of Colombia is a cozy coffee shop in the heart of Bronte Village, filled with beautiful gifts — perfect for Christmas shopping!
This market is all about connection, community, and mindful shopping. It’s not only about shopping — it’s about people. Some come by just to browse and say hi, others stay for the whole three hours to chat, connect, and soak up the energy.
You can meet local entrepreneurs, discover their products, and have amazing conversations. If you’re an entrepreneur yourself, it’s also a wonderful space to network, share stories, and connect with others in the community. I’ve seen beautiful new friendships and collaborations begin right at these markets — it’s really special to witness.
🎁 My goal? To make holiday shopping more intentional and heart-centered. Skip the busy malls, meet the makers behind the products, and choose gifts with meaning — supporting your local village this season.
If you’re new here and don’t know me yet, I always speak a lot around November and December about intentional living and intentional giving — especially during the holidays. I’m all about clutter-free living and clutter-free giving, and I love encouraging people to shop mindfully, support local, and choose gifts made in Canada whenever possible 🇨🇦
To me, the best gifts are consumable or purposeful — things that don’t add to clutter but add to well-being. Whether it’s something you can eat, enjoy, or use on your body — like locally made foods, natural lotions, teas, essential oils, or coffee — these are the gifts that nourish and are truly appreciated.
We’ll be sharing our vendor list soon, and I can promise you’ll find mindful, meaningful gifts that anyone would love. A quality bag of coffee, a beautiful jar of local honey, or a bottle of olive oil - these are the kinds of gifts that people actually use and enjoy, and they’ll think of you every time they do ❤️🥰
🌟 A few vendor spots are still open! If you offer unique, meaningful, or consumable products, please reach out — we’d love to have you join us.
Can’t wait to see many of you there and celebrate another season of connection and community! ❤️
