jewellery – Girl Who Would be KING on Life, Style and INSPIRATION.

I rode my bike over to the Vancouver Folk Festival yesterday at Jericho beach.

The music sounded great and I always love wandering around to see what the local vendors are selling. Among the usual woven hanging baskets, blankets, sarongs, tie-dyes and pipes there are a few fresh surprises.

A necklace caught my eye because instead of the clear pink semi-precious stones (slightly squared off) being incorporated into a silver chain it was done with gold. Simple,casual, elegant. Margot, the friendly designer behind “Soulstones” told me the meaning behind the Rose Quartz stone I’m attracted to, and I like it even more now:

Self-love
Protection
Peace, happiness, gentleness
Healing lore: for emotional wounds & the heart (I need this stone).
There are several more suggestions but the above is what appeals to me.

Camille from “Dark Anachronisms” (in the striped shorts) makes vintage-inspired hats and hair/hat accessories. I especially like the flower crowns, not so much for wearing alone on my head (it’s a really young look) but for decorating a hat in place of a scarf. Very pretty and well detailed. You can picture an image of bridesmaids and angelic looking flower girls wearing them.
