Stories. We all have one. A friend stopped by yesterday afternoon to choose a necklace. One similar to this with sand from our local shores fused between the layers of glass. She was heading to the airport shortly afterwards to pick up a young woman whom she had never met, about to arrive from Japan as an international student. The necklace was a “welcome to Canada, your new home for the next 2 years” gift and I am so thankful that one of my creations played a microscopic part in that young woman’s story. Apparently, she loves it. 👌🏻 . . . . . #stories #welcometocanada #youpickedthebestspot #glassjewellery #fusedglass #urbanfusions #ahandmadegift #meanssomuch #thankyou

Halfway through the last weekend! How did those first 5 days fly by so fast?! With over 50 artisans, amazing food vendors and great entertainment, this Summer festival does not disappoint. I was tucked inside my booth for earlier while the rain came down but it has cleared now and the people are still flowing ✨Thanks West Vancouver for hosting such a well loved event ✨ . . . . #westvancouver #amblesidebeach #boothviews #aftertherain #harmonyartsfestival

Day 2 of @harmonyarts yesterday had me feeling all the feels! This right here is why I love doing markets and shows. The people. The stories. The connections made. This is Al + Bernice. They’ve been married for 49 years. Yesterday morning when Al was dressing his wife for the day, he forgot to put earrings on her. So, he purchased a pair of blue and white ones from me (to match her outfit) because “blue is her favourite colour and she wears it so well.” 💙😭💙 He put them on her and said “there you go my love. You look wonderful.” Then they went on with their stroll. #couplegoals They were more than happy to have their picture taken and allowed me to share it. . . . . #love #humanity #beautyfound #marriage #thisiswhatlifeisabout #adedicatedlife #earringstomatch #dowhatyoulove
What a fun first day of @harmonyarts festival! Loved seeing so many familiar faces and I have the funnest neighbors too! The laughs were not hard to come by today that’s for sure. Happy long weekend everyone! If you’re in Vancouver this weekend, come say hello. Thanks for 📷 of me in my home for the next two weekends @fattamscoop . . . . . #harmonyartsfestival #dayone #summerfestival #vendorlife #westvancouver #glassartist #inmyelement #artlife #urbanfusions
