I have an obsession with visiting local markets and discovering makers from across Canada. I want to show you the talent that grows in this community. I'm so glad you're here - take a look around!

Let’s be friends!

Feeling ethereal ☀️ There's something special

Feeling ethereal ☀️ There's something special about waiting (and admiring) for 3 months to buy something and then giving in. It shows you, you really like that thing months later and hopefully will continue to like it. Case in point these absolutely stunning earrings from @_frnge

They are "expensive" (but completely handmade by one woman and all the materials are purchased from small ethical suppliers) and I definitely did not need more earrings but I justified this purchase because I really love them and can see myself wearing them often. Plus, I love to support small businesses when I can, especially those with such meaningful stories.

Each Frnge piece is handmade by Julie-Anne in Vancouver. She is a Dakelh and Metis artist who is connecting with her heritage and the magic of this world from the sun to the stars.

The Eclipse earrings are made from freshwater pearls, glass beads and gold vermeil.

Love them?
