Ruby Creek Art Gallery Open House 2015

T and I had the best time at the Ruby Creek Art Gallery Open House recently.  Our night was filled with meeting great new people, live entertainment, the best nosh, bc wines and socializing

If you remember Chief Maureen Chapman from the Skawahlook First Nation blew our minds this year coming on board as a sponsor for Bikes Against Bullies.  They're generosity is beyond words and we cherish our friendship

We were also thrilled to meet Blake Lepine he donated a lovely painting to our event.  It was great to see him as the Featured Artist that night

You must drop by for a lookie through the gallery, everything from carvings, paintings, jewellry and wearables.  I scooped up a lovely pair of Native Art wellies, love them!

Carolyn Bruce Designs Steampunk Jewelry - Waterfall Building 2015

This was the highlight event of the year!!!!!

I adore designer Carolyn Bruce, she is by far the most talented, humble, gracious and giving person

Carolyn quietly emerged into the fashion scene, intro's went from Oh and you are? to Oh your the lady that makes that great jewelry!  She started her collections not that very long ago.....things are flying now

See her bling first hand Carolyn Bruce Designs - Steampunk Jewelry

Always a delight to attend an event at the Waterfall Building

Symone Says, she is loads of fun, as an EMCEE she gets the entire crowd involved.  I love how she knows everyone and picks them out, always a pleasure

One of my favorite Paparazzi Sylvester Law, see his photos of the evening here

This was truly a family affair for Carolyn.  This is the lineup for the bar where her award winning bartender daughter is creating her signature cocktail
