Well, well, well. Summer has been way too good to us in Eastern Ontario, with all of this sunshine and next to no rain. We've been enjoying it as much as possible, while social distancing, but also missing a little bit of the fun local shops that we would normally take off for the day and venture to. So, in an effort to get some support out to the makers across Canada, we took to Instagram, once again, and asked you to tag us in all of your summer items. Well, let us tell you, they most certainly didn't disappoint and we have so many fun makers to share with you.

Looking to do some fun summer shopping before it's all over... and of course, to support a local handmade Canadian business? We've got you covered with over 20 makers to choose from - let's get started:

We have a fun shop we want to introduce you to. The Design Bar is a handmade company with fashionable genuine leather earrings that we know you're going to love. Whether you buy one of their already designed pairs or design a pair yourself (you heard that right), we know this shop is something we had to share.

So what's that... you can design your very own pair of earrings?? Seriously, The Design Bar makes buying a pair of earrings a fun experience you'll surely remember. We're thinking fun as a sentimental gift, or matching set for a bridal party, even a pair for a little girl who loves to dress up - either way, if you don't buy them for someone else, you'll want to get a pair for yourself.

We just love everything about them. They're on a mission, where quality should never be a compromise. Their focus is creating one of a kind pieces, to be unique, durable and attractive. When you purchase a pair of earrings from The Design Bar, you become a part of their family. They are there every step of the way, whether it's a search for the perfect pair or designing a pair for yourself. If you do decide to design your own, you have the option to name your design and have it posted in their online shop. They'll also give you a custom code to share and if your design gets five purchases, you'll get to create another custom set for free!

All that being said, when we were approached by Alissa at The Design Bar about doing a fun little giveaway with them - of course we said YES! The company is so fun and their genuine leather earrings are so fashionable. We love everything the company stands for. We were messaging back and forth and they've decided to not only giveaway one, but three pairs of their beautiful leather earrings. This is something you don't want to miss. And, in case you have - be sure to take a look at their shop to get your hands on a pair.
