GLDN GRL UPDATE -

Unfortunately I have been in the hospital all week with no impending discharge date. I’m receiving a lot of messages about appointments so I will keep you posted on when I’m back up and running.

Online orders will still be processed but may have a slight delay.

Thank you to everyone who has sent messages. I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and support.

I appreciate your patience and understanding.

I mean, how cool is this?

when we started gldn grl almost 6 years ago, these are the types of moments we dreamed about.

Jewelry has rarely been about keeping up with the trends and styles, but creating meaningful pieces to carry with us always.

Engraving offers just that.

Thank you for entrusting me with this special project 🫶🏼 taken in Ottawa, Ontario by @heygldngrl

all of this colour matching for skin tone has me thinking, why?

does gold feel right to you? wear it!
does silver feel better? wear that!
like them both? mix it up!

ultimately, jewelry is made to make you feel confident, and accentuate your style. do so with what feels the most comfortable for you!

traded in the corporate life for Saturday nights in a lavender field talking about mental heath and sparking meaning into jewelry.

best decision I’ve ever made.

another amazing weekend hits the books ✨

we did a record weekend between a private spark Friday night, @soireeinthefield Saturday evening and @greelygoodmarket Sunday.

ready for a real talk?

pop-ups are exhausting. a lot of work, time and preparation goes into every small business that attends a market, pops up at events or offers mobile services. we attend unaware of if we’ll make back our money spent on products, time and the cost of the booth. we trust blindly (and hope hard).

that’s why I am always in awe of the support Ottawa has for their community.

supporting local means giving us little guys a chance to follow our dreams and pursue our passions. we work long hours as entrepreneurs - typically doubling the standard working hours every week. we take your concerns, feedback, and positive reviews to heart. we glow when happy customers bring their friends with you to shop. when we hear “I love your story” and you look at me with eyes that say it all. that tell me you resonate and have been through enough.

creating a business based on your tribulations and struggles as a person is always open for criticism. it means vulnerability and can be terrifying. but it can also create beautiful moments.

Sunday at Greely we had a customer who adores her fidget ring bring 3 friends who all purchased fidget rings because of how much she loves hers.

we got to celebrate a lovely couple’s 1 year anniversary with matching bracelets.

we attended girls night and shared in laughter and memories that will last a lifetime. I watched the hostess with the mostess be showered with love and the genuine gratitude and love felt in the room.

I made connections and talked about women’s health, shared stories of struggle and discuss ways to move forward with advocacy in a lavender field.

I had people tell me what my story means to them - just by reading an 8.5x11 snippet of it.

That is the power of small business. I feel it all with you. I am excited with you.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who chooses to support small, shop local, and believes in gldn grl’s mission to foster community, be open, and embrace a new way of doing business.

OUR SEPTEMBER LINEUP —
how is it already September?!?

we are so excited to be back in the swing with a full lineup of pop-ups this month.

We’re kicking it off with the most aesthetic event in the city - @soireeinthefield. If you’re attending, be sure to prep the girls for matching permanent bracelets 😏

we have two dates at @greelygoodmarket where we know we can count on our Greely lovers to have the best time.

be sure to join us for a great evening with the spark spot permanent jewelry to celebrate the @refinedimageottawa Westboro grand opening.

Our first debut at @cheerfullymade is on the 26 and we’re so excited to shop with all of you there (literally - I will be shopping).

We’ll be offering permanent jewelry at all of these events, but if you need a weekend appointment, we only have a couple of slots left on the 19&20, so book them online while you can!

Don’t forget, we have lots of weekday availability and you can book your spark anytime at gldngrl.ca taken in Ottawa, Ontario by @heygldngrl

I’m in awe.

Ottawa - you showed up yesterday. We hit a new sales high - way beyond my imagination. We did 31 sparks (I think - I lost count) yesterday. We danced. I cried (a little) we ate some of the best food, we celebrated community, women’s empowerment, small business and connected with new and old friends.

I had several of you say you attended the event just to see us. You showered me with love beyond words that brought me to tears. You reaffirmed my decision to give this business my heart, and I am still processing the all-consuming feelings from yesterday.

It was a 14 hour day (not including hours of prep)- but it flew by thanks to you.

To @tortaboyz.ot - you outdo yourself every year. You create something that exemplifies the power and love within this city. You bring people together in a way that celebrates culture, creates family and unites us under one goal - to support each other no matter where we come from.

gldn grl has always been about community. creating meaningful connection through difficult moments, trying times, challenges life throws at us. I am thankful and speechless for those of you that believe in that mission, and help us accomplish it.

I am so f-ing grateful.
I love you.

TORTA BOYZ COOK OUT —

we are beyond stoked to be back at @tortaboyz.ot this Saturday for their epic cook out. this will be our third year in attendance, and I can personally attest that this is one of the best events in the city every year.

Some of the yummiest food will be on site like @gitanesburger @lepoissonbleu_ottawa @mooshuicecream @gitanes and so many more.

Details:
It is taking place at the adult high school parking lot (301 Preston Street)
12pm-11pm (someone bring me caffeine)

Here are some memories from past block parties, and we can’t wait to make more with you this Saturday! taken in Ottawa, Ontario by @heygldngrl
