The Craft Council of BC brings you year 6 of our annual fundraiser, packed full of creative talent and unique, handmade earrings!
The Earring Show will be held as a one-day fund-raiser where our guests can purchase any of the specially-selected earrings from artists from across North America. All funds raised from the event go towards CCBC, its programs, and to help promote contemporary crafts to BC and Canada.
Just in time for Mother's Day, what better way to treat the special lady in your life! We will have an assortment of nibbles and drinks, so make sure to bring your fellow earring aficionados with you to share a drink and the shopping experience.

“THE MOTH AND THE BUTTERFLY

When the sun rises over the horizon,
the butterfly emerges to dance in its brilliant light.
It flickers its colorful wings with euphoria,
To celebrate all the beauty found
in the majestic garden of life.

When the moon arrives in the darkness,
The moth appears at the disappearance of sunlight.
It flickers its pale wings as it shakes from its deep slumber,
To go search for food
To carry it through the night.

The moth prefers the moon and detests the sun,
while the butterfly loves the sun and hides from the moon.
Every living creature responds to light,
But depending on the amount of light you have inside,
Determines which lamp in the sky
Your heart will swoon.

Poetry by Suzy Kassem”

QUANTIC CHAMPAGNE COLLECTION
Thanks to Tara Funk from Random Eyesight Photography for inviting me to participate in this creative photo shoot!  Featured here with Edge Model - Bailey Parkinson, is my Quantic Collection with warm Champagne Cubic Zirconias.
This collection is hand fabricated combining the warmth of true bronze and champagne tones with the coolness of the sterling silver and the sparkle of the champagne cubic zirconias. 
The oxidation really enhances the textures, while the high polishing makes the shiny elements pop. 
Each piece is made by hand, no two are exactly alike.

Perfect for your Wedding Day, making you look and feel fabulous and reflecting your own individuality.
So much fun to collect, mix & match and layer them up for a modern, stylish, glamorous look.
Be UNIQUE and get NOTICED!

Sustainable Design
Components made with 100% recycled silver.
