I F W I S H E S W E R E K I S S E S // wow everyone, we had such a great day yesterday at the creative jewellers guild shoe and sale at VanDusen Botanical Gardens.

T H A N K S M O M // when I was young, I would spend hours looking through our home collection of national geographics, day dreaming about all the places in the world I wanted to visit. My mom always encouraged me to follow my heart, exploring the cities and attractions along the way. I am thankful for her support, without which, I wouldn't be where I am today. A strong, empowered business owner, jewelry designer, and sometimes-world traveller. The question is - where to next? - - - - #louvre #sweetdreams #lanabetty #mothersday (at Musée du Louvre)

F O R T H E M O M S // we are all set here at @vandusengarden with 20 other amazing Vancouver jewellers and goldsmiths as a part of @creativejewellersguild. Set up in the main atrium between 10am and 4pm, bring mom to the gardens, treat her to lunch and choose a gift or two from our collection. It's a win win win. - - - - - #mothersday #vandusen #botanicalgardens #lanabettydisplay (at VanDusen Botanical Garden)

C L E A N L I N E S // drawing a lot of inspiration from this beautiful building this evening - its been a busy day, spending time with friends, the dog, and @glitch3ddesign. Recharging with them help us alter our perceptions, reorganize our thoughts, and shift our perspective on the world. - - - - #lanabetty #designinspo #architecture #rechargebattery

S A Y M Y N A M E // scrolling through the archives, I found this amazing necklace made with the prettiest of hand lettering by @stevieandbean. We made this collaboration happen near the holidays last year and I can't believe I didn't post it! - - - - - It is really an enriching experience to collaborate with artists, they share their concept and dreams with us and we do our best to translate that into something tangible and everlasting. - - - - - Getting a custom necklace can take between 6 and 12 weeks (with backlog or at peak seasons), so if you're curious or want your own, summer is a really good time for it! Send us a convo or email today and we can get you a quote! - - - - - #lanabetty #stevieandbean #handlettering #3dprintedjewelry

Q U I E T P L A C E // constantly on the lookout for a quiet spot to sit, reflect, and update my social media. Where do you like to go in #Vancouver to set your posts and prepare your digital doo-dads? - - - - - Sometimes in this busy world, it's so hard to find a place to sit (alone) and enjoy the silence. We are crushing hard on this beautiful cafe. - - - - - #lanabetty #quiettime #emptyplaces

S T R O N G M O T H E R // motherhood is a tough, thankless game. It's full of sacrifice, struggle, and Neverending laundry. It can also be the most fulfilling experience a woman can enjoy in her life. It's our reason to be, some would say. To @strongasmother.club, it's hard and amazing, and the best darn club there is out there! - - - - - We teamed up with them to prototype this amazing brass and sterling silver necklace... And we're giving it away! We combined the goods from @pyrrhajewelry, @elementbotanicals, @abeego, @beeswaxworks, @offyougopaperco, and more to build a prize for mom worth over $800. The contest closes soon, so head over to their page, like, tag, follow all the makers, and cross your fingers! - - - - - If you want to skip the line, let us know! Mother's day pricing to make this necklace for you (anf/or your mom) is available. - - - - - #lanabetty #strongasamother #strongasamotherclub #giveaway #vancouver (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

S P R E A D Y O U R W I N G S // it's been a busy day in the studio, preparing custom orders and for our final spring market (this weekend) - and sometimes you have to take a moment to realize how far you've come. When LanaBetty was conceptualized, it was from a need to explore and create. Over the years it has grown from a small weekend hobby into the burgeoning small business it is today. - - - - - We are now sold online (on five separate websites), across canada in over 25 brick and mortar stores, we have collaborated with artists and bloggers to make one of a kind pieces, have showcased our designs in exhibits and galleries, even had our pieces on the cover of a magazine (!), and have grown our art significantly along the way. Take note world, I'm comin' for you. - - - - - #spreadyourwings #lanabetty #onwardsandupwards #sweetdreams (at LanaBetty)

F O R T H E L O V E O F M O M // if you've been living under a rock the past few weeks, surprise! Mothers day is this weekend. We have a very few heart necklaces left in stock (ready to ship or pick up) and will also have them available at VanDusen Botanical Gardens on Sunday. Extra Bonus: they're on sale too. It's a steal, I tell you! Don't delay! Treat your mom (or treat yourself), because moms need to be celebrated every day (not just one day). - - - - - #lanabetty #lovemom #mothersday #onsale (at LanaBetty)

L O O K U P // thinking about the what inspires us and what direction we are going to steer LB as we head into summer, we can't help but pull inspiration from some of the most beautiful architecture in the world. - - - - - What inspires you when you design? Do you listen to 🎶 music? Tell us. - - - - - #lanabetty #designinspo #architecturelover (at LanaBetty)

D E F Y S O C I A L N O R M S // reject monotony, strive to be curious, and explore your creativity. We are loving these pyramid cut labradorite earrings today, putting a few together for the Mother's Day show at VanDusen Botanical Gardens this Sunday. Treat your mom to a day in the garden and stop in and say hello 👋 #labradorite #lanabetty #contemporaryjewelery #mothersday (at VanDusen Botanical Garden)

B E I R R E G U L A R // we have been thinking and dreaming about some new designs for this fall, we have @idsvancouver and @firstpickyvr in September and both promise to be design-focused! This necklace is 18 inches of sterling chain and the pendant is cast brass. To cast our designs, they are first 3d printed in a high resolution resin. #themoreyouknow #lanabetty #3dprintedjewelry

P R O U D // we are proud to share our Vogue Earrings from this weekends exhibit at @craftcouncilbc earring show and fundraiser sold! They are off to a new home with a true patron of the arts! Thank you to H for supporting local artists and sharing our love of design! - - - - - To have the opportunity to design truly unique (and one of a kind) earrings to be exhibited and showcased by Craft Council really means the world to us. It challenges us to design something our clients will be in awe at and will challenge viewers ideas of what can be made by 3d printing. We are really limited by our imagination, design requirements, and our abilities to 3d model. The possibilities are truly endless! - - - - - To purchase a pair of these earrings in either brass (pictured) or sterling silver, we have now listed them in the ooak section of our website. We will be making a limited run of each finish, available mid-june. - - - - - If you would like a custom commission, we can do that too. Let us design a truly one of a kind piece (or pieces) for your collection. It is our commitment to you that all original commissions will not be duplicated. - - - - - #lanabetty #contemporaryjewelery #3dprintedjewelry #vancouver #craftcouncil (at Craft Council of British Columbia)

G E O M E T R I C S // we know what mom wants. It's not flowers or a macaroni painted frame. She wants STERLING SILVER, a bottle of wine, and a night out to show it off. We've got the silver, come check us out today at @gotcraftmarket 10am to 5pm. We have gifts for mom big and small and they're all nickel free and guaranteed to last. - - - - - #lanabetty #geometric #vancouver #mothersday (at Got Craft?)

S H O P L O C A L // we wrapped a terrific 🌞 first day of @gotcraftmarket and we are excited about day two ✌ - - - - - Come out and see what the buzz about town is all about, supporting over 75 local makers and artists from Vancouver and area! The show runs 10am to 5pm and the first 50 shoppers through the door win one of the highly coveted swag bags! We put 30 pairs of brass + sterling silver heart earrings in, just to show our appreciation!! 💞💕💞 - - - - - We love this handmade indie market so much: it's bursting with talent, showcases the very best businesses, and is hosted in one of Vancouver's oldest neighborhoods. To us, shopping direct from the maker is so much more personal. We feel connected to our community and the product and we feel pride knowing exactly where our dollars go. All the warm fuzzy feels. - - - - - #lanabettydisplay #gotcraft #strathcona #yvr #shophandmade (at Got Craft?)

M A K E I T Y O U R S // we are all set up at @gotcraftmarket today (and tomorrow) from 10am to 5pm. Hop on your bike and come on over. We have our setting supplies and can make you a perfect ring, on the spot! You can't lose! - - - - - 📷 is a faceted blue lapis lazuli we set for the loveliest client at our last market. It's so fun watching them choose their stone. - - - - - #lanabetty #bluelapis #customjewelry #vancouver (at Got Craft?)

N A S T Y // a word, to me, which embodies my feelings toward the world some days. I am a strong, confident, independent entrepreneur - and I get my own, thank you very much. - - - - - There are two in stock for @gotcraftmarket this weekend, if you're in town, or you can order one online and skip the line. - - - - - #feminist #imanentrepreneurbitch #lanabetty #textnecklace
