25 Days of Etsy Christmas Gifts. Day Nineteen: Quebec, La Belle Province

(english will follow)

aujourd’hui je suis fière de vous présenter dix boutiques etsy québécoises, dans le cadre de ma série « 25 jours de cadeaux de noël etsy ». j’ai fais exprès de ne pas inclurent des boutique provenant de  montréal, car lundi, je vais mettre en vedette cinq jours de boutique etsy montréalaises, pour un total de cinquante boutiques!  le but de ces listes c’est d’encourager les gens d’appuire les petites entreprises et les artisans. manifester d’une façon proactive et « occupez » noël en évitant les centre d’achat et en achetant des artisans québécois! 

today we're looking at etsy shops from my home province! i'm not including any shops from montreal because i'll be featuring montreal shops for five days straight, as of monday (i'm taking sunday off). i know the french blurb is longer but, until now, i had not explained the purpose behind this list in french and i thought this was the perfect moment to do so. 

1. check les créations d'ana for stylish, upcycled jewelry. most of her pieces are made from recycled records!! cette boutique est à québec, une ville que j'adore tellement!

2. for fun, silk screen ties, check out magneties, a shop based in gatineau. je suis née à montréal mais j’ai passé neuf ans à gatineau, donc je suis super contente que j’ai trouvé des idées cadeaux qui proviennent de l’outaouais, aussi!

3. on se trouvent maintenant à laval, pour venicia creations! for bright, chunky, fun jewelry, this shop is definitely one to check out. 

4. back to quebec city we go, where anny may offers up a fantastic and varied selection of ethical and eco-friendly fashions. 

5. vertigeglass, in la tuque, québec, makes these original night lights out of recycled glass. check them out, as their motif selection is varies and you're bound to find something for someone on your list!

6. i must admit that i am officially in love with the paper wonders shop. i've added them to my favourites' list and will definitely be back for beautifully made gift tags. lovers of vintage-inspired paper goods must check out this shop from terrebonne, québec. if it's not generally your thing, but you're looking for beautiful, christmas present tags, then this is still the shop for you!

7. i realized today that i have not featured anything for children or babies yet. well, now i'm recommending that you head over to bébé bee couture, if there is a wee baby on your list! based in québec city, this shop offers a gorgeous selection of warm, baby accessories made from natural fibers. 

8. origine végétale, a small but wonderful shop, based in watertville, québec, offers up a great selection of amazing vegan treats. impress the heck out of your guests during the holiday season by ordering a yummy treat from this shop!

9. based in lanoraie, québec, i recommend that you take a look at eugenie woodcrafts for beautifully handcrafted wood gift ideas!
