Copper Daisy Ring

I have to share the cutest story ever.
I was asked by a shop called Radway in Cowichan Bay that carries my jewelry if I could mail a little copper ring to a customer who's girlfriend saw it a week before. They had been in the shop and they left without it. I did not know the story but promptly mailed the ring for him. He paid dearly for the shipping and handling costs so I decided to reduce the price of the ring for him. I received this e-mail from him and I asked his permission to print it on my blog, so here it is:


"We stood in their shop and stared at it for a few minutes, my friend Angela liked it but couldn't decide. It was one of those "I have enough jewelry already, I shouldn't get anything else"So off to the wine festival we went... She couldn't stop talking about the ring for the rest of the day, and I said, let's go back and get it. No she said, we don't have time...Then we are back in Victoria and she's still saying she wished she had bought the ring... a week later So then I figured I better find the name of the shop and see if the ring is still there...I'm glad it was !She will be so surprised !I'm thinking of getting down on one knee and, playing around with the, "I have something special for you baby"Just to see her reaction...May not be a good idea though as we have only been dating three months...Thanks so much Jeff"

Some of the best feedback I ever received,
Cheers Jeff.

In memory of...

I sold this piece today to a woman in Oklahoma. She wrote, " I have been looking for that special gift to give to my sister. I have terminal cancer and wanted to give her something special to remember me by. Looking forward to receiving this in the mail..."

I am honored and so deeply touched.

Spot Prawn Festival in Cowichan Bay

My first outdoor local show this year. The Spot Prawn Festival in Cowichan Bay. It rained all day but in spite of it 3000 people came from everywhere to visit and take part in the festivities. The music was good, the food was great and the company was fantastic. My manager ( my sister from another mother) made the day so much fun, she explained to everyone that all my jewelry was ' upcycled ' and had a little piece of history, she carefully explained that all the ear wires that I handcraft were made from sterling silver wire. She smiled, danced and made me laugh.

Thank you Steph xo

A sweet little lady gave me her vintage silver that were wedding gifts from a time long ago. Now, I have never met or seen her but what lady who lives in a cold place like Calgary doesn't own a favorite sweater or scarf that could be embellished with a vintage pin made with love from her

special collection of silver.

Thank you Vera,
