The temperatures are starting to drop and homebodies are rejoicing. Fall is the season for relaxing evenings indoors and homebound weekend activities. It’s time to shift to indoor living. Is your space ready for it? A little refresh can go a long way, during this transition season. Pick up some of these locally-made items and freshen up your living space this fall.
Here are our picks for locally-made items to refresh your home for fall.
Lady Green Inc. Bee Beeswax Candles
These Stratford-made 100% beeswax candles come in some clever shapes you’ve likely never seen: pyramids, skulls, middle fingers, naked bodies, and more. Beeswax candles purify the air naturally, and burn 3 times longer than paraffin. If you want to freshen up the feeling of your space and add some ambiance, treat yourself to some of these beautiful candles.
Pine Flora Crystal Succulent Holders
Indulge your inner plant lover and your inner crystal lover with these intentionally crafted succulent holders made from crystals. Whether you’re wanting some protection, increased confidence, or a reminder of your self-love self intentions this fall, these little treasures can add a boost of positive energy and beauty to your space.
Botanik and Bloom Handmade Everlasting Wreaths
Nothing says welcome home like a handmade wreath on the door. Hang one of these hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind wreaths outside (they’ll hold up against winter temperatures outside), or indoors. Made with everlasting materials, this is a truly all-season item. Grab yours at Likely General on Roncesvalles, where there is no shortage of locally made goods that will make your space feel like a sanctuary.
Upper Canada Weaving Custom Throw Blanket
Netflix and chill just got more sumptuous. Upper Canada Weaving designs and weaves custom blankets and textiles to suit your taste.

Invest in a truly quality blanket you love, and your nights in will be truly superior.
Stephanie Cheng Art Print
Toronto-based freelance designer, illustrator, and screen printer Stephanie Cheng creates striking prints that are inspired by the human form and negative space. Freshen up your walls with one of these (very affordable!) bold prints and add a splash of colour and a new look.
