Springtime is Here!


The sun is shining and spring is in the air! All my daffodils and tulips have bloomed and now are gone! I've recently bought a few hanging baskets from Costco, and they are Gorgeous! I've gotten many compliments on them from friends who've come over. The weather is getting warmer, even when we have rainy days and I can't wait for the 'beach weather' to be here!

I was at my first Spring Show with 'BLUSH Designs Jewelry' at a local Golf Club for Mother's Day. It was a Beautiful warm day, lots of lovely people came by my booth and even a few gentlemen bought some pieces for their ladies! I chatted with fellow vendors as we sipped on 'Mojitos' from the Club. A Great way to spend a Sunday!

Have a Wonderful Spring Season!

Hello 2010!


Yes, 2010 is now upon us and I want to wish everyone a wonderful New Year!

I'm going to be starting off strong in my business with a nomination on VancouverMom.ca's 30 Essential Jewellery Designers List! Thankyou to Christine from 'VancouverMom' and Sue from 'Raspberry Kids' for the suggestion and nomination!

I'm also working on a new line of jewelry that will bring more 'bling and sparkle' into the new year! I bought myself a great new camera so that I can take some amazing pictures of my collection. The pictures is where you get to see all my hard work on my website and facebook, so I want to capture all the details and beauty in my pieces!

Please check out a great article on 'VancouverMom.ca' which is always a great read, with Sue from 'Raspberry Kids': "Gift Guide for Moms: Because Sometimes Mom Needs a Bottle Too!"
BLUSH Designs is #2 on the list! Thankyou!

Christmas is around the corner!


Another month has past and I was just reading my last post that we were having a whole bunch of sunshine back then! Ha, now it's been raining for the past 22 days out of 24, yes believe it, that's what the weather man said!

Well, I've been real busy with trade shows and fairs with my jewelry this month. I have a 3 day show this weekend at an Arts Center in Port Coq. that I'm excited to be in. Then 2 more weekends and a home party booked and that shall be the last for this year! I am delivering a fresh, large order to "Raspberry Kids" tommorrow with 2new colours in the long style necklace. (click on my Raspberry Kids icon on the right)

I am looking forward to setting up my Christmas decor next week (I'm usually all done by now) and then having a few small parties to bring on the Christmas cheer!

I'm always surprised how quick the months go by after summer is all done!

Cheers to all,
Christine

Beautiful Fall


Wow, Mother Nature has been soooooo nice to us here in the Vancouver Area! We have had wonderful Fall weather. Beautiful sun, and now you can feel Fall in the air, with crisp nights and mornings!

Thanksgiving was just this past weekend and everyone I chatted with had good days and all are 'stuffed' with turkey!

My home is full of Fall Decor, which is my favourite season. We just recently painted our front room, living room a gorgeous golden yellow. Boy it sure is a perfect backdrop colour for all the shades of oranges and browns in my displays! I love it!

I was a vendor at our local "Fort Langley Cranberry Festival" that happened on Sat. Oct. 10 and met some really nice people there. Had a wonderful day, the weather was great with wind gusts that blew over some tarps, but other than that, Perfect!

The rest of this month is filled with a few kids' birthdays to attend and my daughters '4th Birthday' coming up. Then Halloween, and prepping for 6 Christmas Fairs/Events in Nov. So I'm just busily designing new pieces for my BLUSH Designs Collection.

I will posts some more news in a few weeks, and Please keep checking out my webstore www.BLUSHDesign.etsy.com for some great gifts!

Keep warm, and cuddle up!

The End of Summer '09


Oh my, the end of Summer 2009 already. What a fabulous summer it was! We had soooo much sun, which gave us so many options of things to do.

We stayed busy with quading & camping in June, then summer camps for the kids, I was doing a festival with my Jewelry every other weekend! We also managed to get in beach days, park days, lots of pool days, the 'PNE'! Man it was fun!

However 'Back To School' means Fall, my most favourite season! It also means routines, cozier clothes (which I love), after-school activities (Beavers for my son, and Ballet for my daughter). I'm already booking up some Christmas Craft Fairs, and Home Jewelry Partys for the months ahead!

I'm not ready to give up the summer, but I am looking forward to the Fall and all the pretty colours (if the weather is good= Sun on the orange, red, & yellow leaves, BEAUTIFUL) Last years Autumn was great, lots of sun & not much rain, so the leaves stayed on the trees a long time! You could go for a walk in the brisk morning, then have a picnic with your sweater off, the kids could play at the playground and I would collect fallen leaves!

Here's to a Fabulous Fall, and to many more sunny days!
