THANK YOU! It's a wrap! Thank You everyone who came by my booth today at the Crafty Affaire Market. What a wonderful selection of vendors that I'm sure help check off a few items on your list just before Christmas. Today's highlite was getting to meet Richard Harmon of The 100 TV show. I didn't realize he was Canadian. Forgot to ask if his friend was also an actor and after they left, I had a feeling he looked familiar. Both were very nice young men. Didn't get a photo but several others did. Wishing everyone a great week leading up to Christmas. Shop local, drive safely and BE HAPPY.

♥ THANK YOU ♥ Thank you to everyone who came to shop the Krafted Market 2016 and the Portobello West Holiday Market this past weekend. My husband Rick was awesome (as he always is) when he agreed to fill in for me on Sunday at the Krafted Market as I has double booked the Sunday. I thank you for being so kind with him on his first solo appearance. Rick pretty much knows what I do as he comes with me to most of my shows but he was super FANTASTIC for doing that for me. I hope everyone loves their jewelry and if you missed out on a piece, do know that I'll be at the The Oddfellows Market - Get Scrooged event this coming weekend. I apoligize to everyone as I kept saying I'd be at the Croation Center this coming weekend but that's not until December 17th. This coming weekend is at the Wise Hall in Vancouver. For all the "GET SCROOGED" market details on when and where this weekend, go to http://ift.tt/2gCzOf5 and click on "GOING". December shows are listed on my website here http://ift.tt/2aGIDD2 Have your self a merry little day and contact me if you have any questions.

Just wanted to share one of my adventures in the studio today. I've never soldered something onto the side of a bezel before so thought it was time to try it. This pendant has a leaf soldered on the side and a little hand stamping along the sides. Using mixed metals - coper & german silver. #jewelry #solder #pendant #handstamped

It's been crazy. We've decided to list our house and plan on moving to Vancouver Island in the New Year so I did a major clean sweep of all the crap that was visable and doanted it to Sally Ann so we could get ready for the stager and photographer. Anyway, long story short, I finally got to my studio and decided to make a BOHO ring. All was going fantastic until I dropped the glass and broke it. I frantically searched for a smaller but the size is a little off so not a great fit. This is my proto type and the end result is what I was aiming for. I may have to venture into sterling for some of these. The ring will be slightly adjustable which is always good.

Beautiful antiqued textures in silver with the contrast of brushed copper on the inside are a nice contrast and can be dressed up or down. #textures #earrings #copper #silver #jewelry

Moved my kiln into the studio over the weekend and everything is in one place which makes it so much easier. Spent some time working on a few pieces for my fall enamel collection I plan on showcasing at the upcoming Portobello West at the Vancouver Home + Design Show later this month. This is a Sgraffito Enameled Pendant (in the works) which is layering & firing colors and drawing into the enamel before the last firing. #sgraffito #enamel #jewelry #pendant #debVdesigns

Just wanted to let everyone know I won't be at the Cloverdale Market Days tomorrow as my husband was involved in a MVA this afternoon. Furtunately everyone escaped major injuries however, his vehicle was not drivable and he is feeling sore all over. My next show is in October at the Home and Design show in Vancouver - I will post all the details online this weekend. Meanwhile, if there is anything in particular you are looking for, please feel free to contact me to arrange picking it up at the house. I wish my fellow vendors a great day tomorrow for the final market day of the season.

Just found this photo from August Cloverdale Market Days. It was a very windy day so no table covers as the wind blew the covers and knocked over one of my tables during setup. Did not want that to happen. Love my tables - at 39" high they are the perfect height where noone has to bend over to look at my jewerly. #jewelry #booth #setup #display

Doing the happy dance. My banners arrived from Vistaprint yesterday. I get to use one or more this Saturday at the Cloverdale Market Days if the sun Gods keep the rain away. Last I heard it was going to be overcast but no rain until the evening FINGERS CROSSED. This will is my last outdoor show of the year and happy it's in Cloverdale.

I've been feeling flu-ish and sluggish the past several days. Just though I'd share this photo before heading off to bed. This is our earring/pendant display cases in black. Doesn't it look great? You can hang 75 pair of earrings from these.

NEW BANNERS I just ordered new banners from Vistaprint and I wasn't aware of the Canadian site. The lady who helped me provided amazing customer support and converted my order to Canadian which turned out less than US (especially with the exchange rates), and upgraded my shipping to 5 business days for free. Thank you VistaPrint for making this a painless experience.

I delivered new pieces to Scout + Co in Steveston this afternoon. If you are in the area, try to drop in and see their amazing store. They carry a nice selection from a variety of (mostly local) Canadian artists, some as far away as Nova Scotia (where I grew up by the way). These lovely fold formed copper wire wrapped earrings and pendant some of my newest designs. #copper #foldform #jewelry #steveston

I woke up way too early today which made it a really long day. I met a few friends for a nice lunch at The Cactus Club and had the amazing Bandara Salad, which just happends to be my all time favorite. I'm exhausted, but before I tuck myself in for the night, I wanted to share the beautiful colors I got on these earrings. #earrings #enamel #debVdesigns #jewelry #kiln
