Being a teacher married to a golf pro, my summer holidays always took me to the links. With plenty of down time, I would sit on the patio of the clubhouse making earrings and necklaces... (read more)

Day 2 of #marchmeetthemaker STYLE Iā€™m a busy mom Day 2 of #marchmeetthemaker STYLE Iā€™m a busy mom and business owner who loves to adventure outside as often as my schedule allows. My style in my daily life connects with my style of jewelry. Minimal, easy to wear and meaningful. We all have our favourite pair of pants or our favourite sweater. We have our default hair style and favourite pair of shoes. I aim to have my jewelry be your default every day piece because it is comfortable to wear, matches every outfit, suits whatever is in your schedule for the day and holds meaning for you. I often describe my style as west coast inspired, wearable jewelry. Really, my jewelry style is similar to my personal style - down to earth, personable and up for adventure. Whatā€™s your style?
Each March, I participate in @joannehawker ā€˜s #m Each March, I participate in @joannehawker ā€˜s #marchmeetthemaker challenge. It is always a great way for me to connect with you, my supporters, and for you to get to know a bit more about me and my work. This year more than ever I feel like it is important for you to see that behind the products we make is a person whose heart and souls goes into the art she creates. So here we go! Day 1: Brand Introduction So much is a part of a brand - not just the name but I will start there. Loops comes from the golf term ā€œloopingā€ which describes the role of a caddy carrying a golferā€™s bag in a round of golf. When my husband and I were first married, I was teaching and he was playing professional golf on what was then called the Canadian Tour (now the Mackenzie Tour). I spent my summers caddying for him as we travelled across the country from tournament to tournament. He and a friend had created an idea to make a golf belt company called Loops and it didnā€™t really turn into anything so when I started making jewelry with my down time as we travelled, I stole his idea and created Loops Jewellery. Loops is hand crafted, high quality, west coast inspired jewelry that is designed to be worn and enjoyed every day. I aim to make those pieces that you never take off; the jewelry that is your go to piece or that reminds you of this very special place we live.
Custom pieces. I donā€™t make them very often but Custom pieces. I donā€™t make them very often but the odd time I do and they always feel pretty special. This is a beautiful labradorite pear shaped stone set in a basic bezel setting with a little bit of rim left on to frame it. It is set on a smooth comfort band. Final fitting before the stone was set today and it is now heading to its forever home.
Itā€™s Monday again. Iā€™m not quite sure where th Itā€™s Monday again. Iā€™m not quite sure where this last week went. And I spent the weekend painting trim in my hundred year old dining room. It looks more fresh and bright but painting out built ins and fire places is finicky work. I give credit to anyone who makes painting their career. Iā€™m happy to be back in my jewelry studio today. Mondays are for to do lists for me and on my list for this week is to get together some of the one of a kind items I have (like the one pictured here) for an Instagram show. Usually March is when my markets start up again and I donā€™t have any obviously so I plan to do weekly releases of some one of a kind products. More to come!
If youā€™re in Victoria, restocks were delivered t If youā€™re in Victoria, restocks were delivered today @head_over_heels_bc and @sidestreetarts. @migrationboutique is stocked up as well! Iā€™m so thankful for these local shops. Make sure you continue to support as many local small businesses as you can when you can. It means the world to us and our families.
The rhythms of the year look different than other The rhythms of the year look different than other years. Usually in February, Iā€™m refining last bits of a new collection for the year and am about to launch it on the website and to all of the wonderful stores who Iā€™m so grateful carry my jewelry. This year, Iā€™m currently doing some things to set up my business for sustainability and growth in the future. I am also working on new designs but it will be a smaller collection and hopefully more than one release. You can expect to see some new pieces in the late spring/early summer. Iā€™m excited about some things that are in store as I work with running this business during a time when the world looks very different. Markets will be few and far between I think this year and even those that happen will still have small numbers and social distancing. So Iā€™m looking forward to some fun new things in this space here as well as on my website. Thanks for travelling with me on this journey.
What an amazing, though frigid, day we had today! What an amazing, though frigid, day we had today! The kids had a pro d day today so we adventured in the Sooke area and had a blast!
Happy Monday! Setting out my goals for the week of Happy Monday! Setting out my goals for the week of what I would like to accomplish. I find that if I donā€™t start my week with goals in mind or start my days without an organized list of tasks to accomplish, I feel like Iā€™m drowning or travelling in circles. Lists and goals help me to stay on task and productive. What strategies do you use?
