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)

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 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)

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.
