Exchange Uporium

Cool pop up shop that I noticed today during my Christmas shopping in the Exchange. It’s located in the a former favourite store of mine — Cake Clothing. Exchange Uporium is open for another week (to Dec ³⁰⁄₁₄) before it packs it up so get there fast! It’s a collection of 46 local artists who sell their items here ranging from jewellery, moccasins, cool looking terraniums, art, home décor accessories etc. It’s like Etsy but in real life! LOL… you can touch all items instead of scrolling. There’s lots of fun and interesting items that you can’t find in mainstream stores but they are funky enough without being gawdy. I picked up a few things and had a great chat with the organizer. This place is open from 10 am to 8 pm tomorrow and 10 am to 3 pm on Christmas eve.
Most items I glanced at were around $ 20 though there was a range depending on what you were looking at. The prices are very reasonable. I purchased a cute necklace and some cute tea towels that had local neighbourhood streets listed on it as gifts.
Great place — support local artists!
