Your Brand: Blue Poppy Jewelry
Your Blog: bluepoppyjewelry.blogspot.com
What you dreamed of making as a child: I was always making something as a child... I'm not quite sure if there was a day when i didn't create..I started making jewelry on a beading loom at about the age of 10 but it wasn't until my early 20's that I settled in on making jewelry. Creating as a child was different...it wasn't to appeal to consumers or to make money (Although now that I reflect back, there were a few neighborhood sidewalk sales) It was pure creative expression.
What do you dream of now: Traveling anywhere and everywhere...
Your motto: Love and you will be loved
Your hero: My son
Your favorite song:
Your favourite part of summer: Having our son out of school. I am fortunate to work at my home-based studio. Summer vacation for us means that we forfeit the 7:00am rush for waking up slowly and enjoying breakfast together.

What you dreamed of making as a child: wings, to actually use. But i wanted to make stuffed toys, like for a stuffed toy company! Even thought it's not exactly what i imagined in my head, I'm kind of doing it right now! And that's pretty cool.
What do you dream of now: ha! i'll be honest: a house. and to be 'ok'
Your motto: stop talking about it and do it! like, stop talking about how you're gonna 'do something nice for someone' or 'break up with that guy', and do it!!! it's more impressive when it's done, not the idea of it.
Your hero: Lawren Harris. I read this really great biography about him once that basically said he was a rich kid who used his money to buy a studio building here in Toronto, where artists could work and live cheaply. And the rest is history!
Your favorite song: so very hard to choose! when i'm working, i always have junior boys on repeat, i could never get sick of them! But songs that really get me are wilco's "jesus etc." or joni mittchel's 'case of you'....music is at the root of everything i make or do
Your favourite part of summer: BBQ's at my sister's and no responsibilities or dead lines (if only for a short time)
