Home again, home again, jiggity jig! 🏡❤️

After a busy, full week, my heart is overflowing with gratitude for the opportunities, experiences, and wonderful people who made it so special! Feeling blessed, inspired, and thankful for every moment. ✨💕

But now it’s time to cuddle my littles, kiss the hubby, and soak up all the love at home! 🥰❤️ There really is no place like home, and nothing beats coming back to my favourite people! 💕 by @kwosel

As I pack up my table at the CCIB National Conference, I’m feeling incredibly grateful and humbled. ❤️

To the amazing vendors I’ve connected with and all the conference attendees who stopped by, shared stories, and supported my work—thank you!

Coming home to BC for this experience has been so meaningful, and I’m grateful I made the journey. My heart is full. 🥹❤️

Hoy chewx! 🙌🏽

✨ Now, on to the gala tonight! Looking forward to an evening of celebrating Indigenous excellence, achievements, and community! ✨ @ccib.national

Part of what makes each of my pieces so special is the story behind its creation and the journey it takes. ❤️

Every piece carries a part of my story, from the creative process to the runway and beyond. And when someone purchases one of my creations, they become part of that story too, giving it a new chapter and a new journey.

As each piece from my Fashion Week collection finds its way to a new home, I can’t help but get a little misty-eyed. 🥹❤️

Today, my red dress jewelry necklace begins its next journey, and while it’s bittersweet to see it go, I’m so grateful knowing its story will continue with someone new.

That’s the beauty of creating art. The story doesn’t end when it leaves my hands. ❤️

The moment you arrive in BC and all the feels come rushing in! 🥹❤️🌲 There’s just something about being back on the land that feels like home.

Here for an Indigenous business conference, but still putting in the work behind the scenes! A little business, a little beading, and a whole lot of gratitude. ✨🪶

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today is a day to reflect on Canada’s history, listen to Indigenous voices, and hold space for the children who never came home, survivors, families, and communities impacted by residential schools.

Through truth, listening, and learning, we create space for healing, understanding, and change.

Indigenous stories deserve to be heard, respected, and understood.

I’ll be at the Indigenous Market at Werklund Centre, curated by Authentically Curated.

📍 Jack Singer Concert Hall Lobby, Werklund Centre
⏰ 11 AM–7 PM | September 30

Come support Indigenous artists, makers, culture, and community. 🧡

Attended the @verdavainneofficial NYFW SS 27 show held at Cipriani. This handcrafted eveningwear featured clean tailoring, and refined atelier craftsmanship. Every peice of as elegant and constructed with refined restraint. Designs featured interpretations of hand-drawn designs woven in Lake Como, Italy, emphasizing bright palettes like yellow, green, and vibrant floral arrangements. The collective over was a mix of A couture gowns, metallic accents, and elegant silhouettes designed for modern luxury and individuality.
