BLIM MONTHLY MARKET!

If you are in Vancouver come on out to BLIM art/craft market at Main Street's Car Free Day on Sunday!!

I just can't wait and hope it's as perfect a day as last month's. The market only happens once a month so don't miss your chance to get unique handmade goodies and some vintage treasures too!

BONUS:I will be sharing my table this month with my friend Gus who recently moved to Vancouver from Mexico. I was blown away when I first saw his photography and I'm sure you will be too.


AND...I will have brand new Second Life Designs creations and you could be the first to see them!

See you there! xo

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!

Blim tomorrow!

Just a reminder that tomorrow, July 19th, is the Blim Market and Car Free Day on Main Street so come on out for loads of fun.

New jewelery from Second Life Designs (a sneak peak in the photo above) and the screen-printed vintage items make a return!

Hope to see some of you there!

Lots to Do!

A fresh batch of one-of-kind charm bracelets are available at Riot on Commercial Drive, get them before they're gone!

More exciting news...Second Life Designs will be at Blim Market on Sunday July 19! It will be my first market in Vancouver and I can't wait to get out there! There will be loads of great vendors, music and food so come on out and play with us!

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?

New Store for Second Life Designs!

Second Life Designs one-of-kind jewellery now available at Riot boutique on Commercial Drive, Vancouver! Take a break from people watching at the park and go check it out, it's just down the street. There is lots of wicked things besides mine in the shop and owner Brenda can tell you all about her band Commercial Sex Drive while you try stuff on! Too much fun for one person so you better bring a friend or two.

Photos of brand new creations for your eyes soon!

Lots of Charm

These new charm bracelets are for sale at Two of Hearts boutique. They are all made from repurposed metal chains and vintage charms and baubles! And each one has a cute name like The Honeymooners, Dungeons and Dragons, Paradiso, and All the Kings Horses.

Can you guess the name of each bracelet?

Just try, it's a fun game ok.

More Earrings

I made lots of earrings!

New Jewellery!

I have been busy making new jewelery, mostly earrings, which will be for sale in stores soon!

I always collect the feathers from Lemon and Sukie-roo when they drop and admire them and I've started to include them in some of my creations (they said it was ok).

Hope you love them! PLease leave me comments and let me know what you think!

If you're in Vancouver come check out my jewellery that is being sold at Two of Hearts during their 1 month anniversary celebration this Friday! They have lots of other beautiful, local finds too plus a fashion show!

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.

A Very Special Christmas Project

I was commissioned to do several one-of-a-kind pieces for a friend. She had acquired a box of her mother's old jewellery and wanted it turned in to new jewellery, key chains and business card holders so she could give them as gifts to family members for Christmas.

This project was challenging but extremerly rewarding, expecially to see how touched Susan was when I showed her the finished creations.

Merry Chistmas everyone!

Second Life Decorations

I made these Christmas decorations a while back as a dontation for the artsist run Gallery 96 annual fundraiser Vineart. I used tangerines that I dried last year at Christmas time and some reconstructed jewellery bits and pieces. I really like how they turned out...I'm not sure if anyone bought them though. Thanks Wendy for including me, it was great to be part of the event and lots of fun that night ;)

What a Charmer!

Here are my newest creations of one-of-a-kind charm necklaces made out of reclaimed vintage and found objects. I will be posting them for sale on my etsy shop soon!
