So this happened at work this week... I’m so lucky that I have people at work who will have fun with me.
Not sure what store will be going in to this location but Kingsway Mall sure makes temporary store fronts beautiful! #yeggers #kingsway #kingswaymall #edmonton #myedmonton
Blue Skies and Big Bridges! This is my Edmonton. #yeggers #myedmonton #edmonton #rivervalley #yeg
Friday be like... this poor guy had a rough rough day! 🤣
Today is World Refugee Day. I think it’s an important day to reflect and realize how many people walking among us have been displaced from terrible situations. This year I’m sure my life will be impacted in a positive way as I embark on being a part of a team that supports student refugees who have been selected on a scholarship as well as in September when I go to work in a refugee camp. Yesterday I was honored to meet a vibrant young woman who fled Syria and now is pursuing her PhD in Mathematics. It truly is inspiring to see someone who has literally been through hell but today can remain hopeful and wear a bright smile. If anyone has Netflix I highly recommend watching Born in Syria. A documentary told from the perspectives of children. #worldrefugeeday #worldrefugeeday2019 #begratefuleveryday #braverefugees
No filter needed. This is real life. This is Edmonton’s beautiful, green river valley. The smoke is so dense in our city today that you can literally taste it. I’ve honestly never seen it this bad in my life. #yeggers #edmontonsmoke #smokeydays #icantsee
Here’s another piece I made a few weeks ago. It’s alcohol inks on yupo paper but I mounted it on wood and covered it with resin. Does it make you think of a sun set too? #theurbangypsy #mixedmedia #yegartists #explore #edmontonmade #bycurated #corrocollective #whollyhandmade
Who else loves spring? #springtime #yeggers #ilovespring #flowersblooming #theurbangypsy
Some roads may seem like they never end. This is literally and figuratively! I captured this road in beautiful Brazil. #beautifulbrazil #brazil #longroads #roadtrip #explore #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
Remember that day when I was at Carnival? I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months now! The Parade of Champions was truly an experience I’ll never forget! #riodejaneiro #riocarnival #riocarnaval2019 #brazil #beautifulbrazil #theurbangypsy
No filter needed with these pieces. Last week I took a class of inks on yupo paper. This was two out of the three I made. I love how the alcohol inks give such vibrant colours! #inksonyupo #yegmade #edmontonmade #yegartists #theurbangypsy
This is in the cutest town of Paraty, Brazil. Designed by the Portuguese to sit below sea level, they allow the tied to come in and out, cleaning the streets on a regular basis. Every time there is a full moon the streets are apparently completely flooded. #beautifulbrazil #brazil #paraty #paratystreets #unescoworldheritage #explore #theurbangypsy
We are just a tiny speck in this great big world we call home. We need to treat our home with more kindness. Happy Earth Day! #earthday #motherearth #happyearthday #brazil #beautifulbrazil #theurbangypsy
Just over 2 years ago I was lucky enough to travel to the beautiful country of Sri Lanka. There was no shortage of natural beauty but what won me over was the kindness of the Sri Lankan people. Today my deepest condolences go out this this country. ❤️
And here a few more newbies up for grabs... #shoplocal #theurbangypsy #malajewelry #malanecklaces #etsymadeincanada #bycurated
I’ve been busy creating some new Malas. The first is made with Riverstone, Sea Sediment Jasper, a silk tassel and an antique Buddha from Thailand. Second is made with Onyx, Lemon Quartz and stunning Dragon Vein Agate guru pendant. Third Mala is made with Onyx, Grey Crackle Agate, Yellow Howlite and a unique hand carved Ganesha Jade Quartz Guru pendant from India. Direct message me if you want to take one of these one if a kind pieces home 📿 #shoplocal #theurbangypsy #malajewelery #malanecklaces #bycurated #etsymadeincanada
Happy Siblings Day to these two fire crackers! I had to pick this photo because why the hell is Jennifer not wearing pants?! 🤣 I love you guys and want to thank you for wiping my bum back then! ❤️❤️❤️ #happysiblingsday #sisters #throwback #nopants
Oh Rio! Look how you amaze me! Thinking back to sunset on Sugarloaf Mountain. #riodejaneiro #brazil #beautifulbrazil #sunsets #sugarloafmountain #wanderlust #theurbangypsy
I’m really excited to show you the newest design in the Urban Gypsy Collection. Show a little Alberta pride and get your tank or T-shirt now! $35 each ******************************* #theurbangypsy #shoplocal #albertapride #albertacanada #alberta
Nothing like a spring petting zoo in the mall to make your day! Everyone loves a good llama! #llamas #noprobllama #pettingzoo #yeggers #thisisedmonton #theurbangypsy

Where in the world is she?
