Thanks!


Thanks to everyone who braved the gross weather and came out to the Green Christmas Market on Saturday! Your pretty faces made me forget about the rain and cold for a few minutes.






And Nanna found a new use for the Gold Sea Creature necklace, what a versatile piece!

Designs


I get really stressed about designing labels and business cards because I want it to be PERFECT. So I basically just put off doing it until I can't anymore...marketing is just not my thing.

I'm thinking of using the banner above, or something similar, for the front of my new business cards. What do you think?

Hot hot heat

I'm trying to make jewellery today on my day off but it's so hot in my apartment here in Vancouver I can hardly think (the whole city is sold out of fans! I'm not kidding).

So here is a photo of my charm necklace...after about a year of wearing it I realized I didn't have any photos of it. It's one of a couple things I've made and kept for myself.

Hopefully I'll have more new things to show you soon.

Stay cool lovely people!

Heavy Metal





Here are some of my latest pieces as promised. I am still really into mixing different metals and chains and the heavier the better! The charm necklace is a new design which was influenced by all the compliments I get on a charm necklace I made for myself a while back. In the past whenever I tried to recreate it I was never happy with the result so this time I used the same designs as my bracelets and made it bigger and I really like the effect. What do you think? Does this charm necklace work?

Now in Vancouver!





































So, it's been a while...I have made a few life adjustments and last month I moved to Vancouver. I began my final year (hopefully) at university and didn't know if or when I would have time for the business but a great opportunity came up and I have made some new pieces of my extra special upcycled charm jewellery which will be for sale at a new boutique here in Vancouver on Saturday!

It's called Two-of-Hearts (click their name for all the details) and they are having their grand opening this Saturday where they will be giving away really sweet gift bags to the first 25 people and there will be FREE champagne all day plus you can see the new collections of local and eco-friendly designers they are supporting (like me!).Who could say no to that? I can't wait.
