Midnight Garden

I went to drop off some new pieces at Eclektica Art Gallery* this week and one of them was my chef d'oeuvre, the mesmerizing "Midnight Garden" necklace... I love this piece, I hope it finds a proud owner : )


"Midnight Garden", a necklace featuring a suede butterfly fluttering among gorgeous dark blue azurite beads (the night) and grey freshwater pearls (the stars).

And talking about gardens, I have to show you the poster for the Spring Fab Fair that will be held on June 5th and 6th at the Heritage Hall, in Vancouver. This dreamy picture was done by my friend Grace, the talented designer and ceramist from Eikcam. We will both attend the Fab Fair as well as Shibang designs who makes colorful felted accessories and whom I am very impatient to meet!

One Thousand and One Nights...

Phew... I'm done! I am officially on holidays : I'm done with my marking, my craft fairs, my Christmas shopping... and I even hosted a home birthday party for my "baby" who turned 5 last weekend! Let me pat myself on the back : )

As a few of my friends have been suggesting it for a while, I have decided to create a *Olala* design Fan Page on Facebook! I am really proud of myself because I am usually a bit scared of anything too "technical" (you should see me with my cellphone... I still don't know how to text!?!)

Anyway, here it is :



My first announcement was to give the new address of Eclektica art gallery which is now located in Yaletown, a chic and hip neighborhood in Vancouver. The gallery carries a few of my pieces, for example, these sets I made with the holidays in mind :



"Mille et une nuits" necklace - Moroccan silk beads, Swarovski crystal baroque pendant, pewter beads.

The matching earrings...

Elegant and colorful, these necklaces will make any lady shine for "One Thousand and One nights"...
