Surrey Fusion Festival

The annual Surrey Fusion Festival is on today and tomorrow at Holland Park in Surrey. You can take the skytrain and get off at King George station and it is right across the street which is so convenient! There are food and cultural pavilion tents from all over the world! I had plantains with spicy coleslaw from Haiti, Indonesian coconut rice and chicken satay, a pineapple drink that came in a real pineapple from Columbia and we had a Portugese doughnut to round it all out! On top of all the amazing food there is also tents filled with info about the different countries and three stages playing music and showcasing dance!

 Jacob as a Russian doll ?!?!
And a tall pirate girl!

Studio Shots

I have been meaning to update my Etsy about page for a while now and it was the perfect motivation to clean up my work area and take some nice photos.
 My jewellery assembly/design studio is actually in my closet! When you live in a condo you have to get creative sometimes. 




 My late Grandma Marion was so special to me and her memory always keeps me going.
 Crazy inspiration board!

Show & Shine

New Westminster is having it's annual Show & Shine downtown on Columbia street! So many awesome old cars and things to see. While you are there make sure to go up the hill on Begbie st. and check out the lovely Brick & Mortar Living! Also make sure to check out the Front St. Antique shops such as Mid Century Modern that are amazing with really reasonable prices. If you can't make it today make sure to check out the downtown shops the next time you are in the area!

An old take on "fast food"



My partner Jacob's Mum had this car in burnt orange!

Old black Triumph's are one of my favourites
