Volume 23 | DECEMBER 2022
Greetings!

Vancouver's Circle Craft Christmas Market was the kick-off to the annual holiday season! ...and that seems like it was months ago. Time really flies!

The change of season happened so quickly, we were wishing for rain and we got rain! But did we ask for snow so early? At least not until we manage to change out our snow tires and retrieve all the winter gear out of storage.

Hope everyone stays warm, dry and well ... See You Soon!

A huge WELCOME to all new eNews subscribers!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by at the
Circle Craft Christmas Market and Hycroft for the Holidays!
I had so much fun connecting with both new and 'old' friends!

December Birthstone
Blue Topaz

There is perhaps no gemstone more worthy of our times than blue topaz. Blue topaz celebrates the intellect, alleviates anger and sadness and provides light in places of darkness. It’s the gemstone of abundance and good health.

Blue topaz is a colored variety of the gemstone topaz. It’s mined in the USA, China and Russia, with the largest specimens found in Brazil. Topaz comes in a diverse range of colors, from charming pinks to rich browns. Each shade is dazzling in its own right, but the coveted blue topaz has proven to shine brighter than the rest and is a precious favorite of gemstone lovers. It’s important to note that topaz is rarely blue in its natural form, and most blue topaz on the market have been enhanced to bring out the brilliant blue.

From Chi's Bench ...  Repurposed Delights
Let me help you tell your stories!
I delight in giving new life to tired jewelry with my "re-purposed" designs.

Creating new expressions from family legacy pieces are so heart-warming
when I can be part of their journey ... 

An engagement ring, family ring or necklaces - they all combine wonderful memories, bringing happiness to both me and everyone involved!
Repurposed Cluster Ring

Ellen did her homework when we met
for her consultation, with her rough sketches of some of my ring designs.

Ellen’s repurposed ring utilizes her old diamond solitaire and a loose pearl to form a wonderful cluster ring ... so different! 

Family Repurpose Project

A true family repurposing delight! This is a truly special piece for me ... It feels so very different when I am personally related to the clients.

Aunt Vivian's old turquoise brooch took on a
happy transformation for my two cousins!

Woven waterfall gold pendant, Turquoise & silver earrings, Turquoise stacking ring.

Love and happiness live on forever!
