More Canadian souvenirs at the Souvenir Shop at the Come Up To My Room show at the Gladstone included other (non) essentials such as the fur lifejacket and the plaid beverage cosies that are useful for cold brews or hot double doubles. Anneke Van Bommel’s antler rings remind us that the antlers that come charging at us belong to different animals and Eddy Wong’s Mounties make us wonder why Lego has never included these law enforcement officers in Canadian sets.

Antler Rings by Anneke Van Bommel are in sterling silver and represent the Moose, caribou, Elk and Whitetail deer.
Hoser Cosies by Anneke Van Bommel are made from authentic checked lumber jackets with vintage badges.
Mounties by Eddy Wong are larger than life porcelain Lego RCMP officers in light of the fact that there has never been a Canadian-themed Lego set.
North American Remix Flag by Alex Quinto represents the three nations of North America.
Urban Archeology by Robin Tieu combines bricks and visuals of Toronto buildings, including the Gladstone Hotel.
Canada Pasteups by Jenn Lawrence are collages that incorporate vintage papers.
