Happy Birthday to this little fire cracker! She is the best mom a girl could ask for and has been such an important, positive role model to Christine, Jennifer and I over the years. Her loving kindness truly touches everyone she meets! Love you Mom! ❤️❤️❤️
And a few more Malas to add to the collection... get yours before they are sent to the shops! #madeinedmonton #yegmade #malajewelery #shoplocal #theurbangypsy
I’ve been creating a few more Malas over the last few weeks. I have some really beautiful stones to work with! Any takers before I send them off to the stores? #yegmade #madeinedmonton #malajewelery #theurbangypsy #bycurated #etsymadeincanada #corrocollective #shoplocal
Today I went to Body Worlds -Animals. I find stuff like this so interesting. This is a shot of a giraffe’s heart and so fitting that the shape is really a heart. ❤️❤️❤️ #exploreedmonton #telusworldofscience #bodyworlds #yeggers #giraffe
I just want to thank everyone who supported The Urban Gypsy in 2018. Whether it be by reading my blog, coming out to one of my markets or purchasing one of my pieces ~ it truly means the world to me to have your support. May 2019 be a year full of incredible memories and lots of love. ❤️ #newyearsblessing #newyearswishes #grateful #theurbangypsy #traveloften #shoplocal #yegmade
Merry Christmas Everyone! Wishing you the very best this holiday season and of course may the new year bring you happy memories, lots of laughter and for those of you who love travel as much as I do...many more air miles!Here’s a throwback to when I was probably 4 or 5. Probably the only Santa pic where I actually look happy! 🥴 #merrychristmas #santapictures #happyholidays
Here’s a pic of my sonogram! I saw this on the World Wide Web and couldn’t help but post this! ‘We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us’. #theurbangypsy #traveloften #wanderlust #globetrotter #traveladdict

Today I spent many hours at the mall doing some Christmas shopping. It was so cute to see the kids lined up to see Santa. Thought I’d share a throwback to my own Santa pic when I was about 1 and a half. 🤣 #santapics #throwback #badsantapics #christmasthrowback

No matter where I travel the crazy cat lady in me always comes out! Hello Zanzibar, how are you right meow? #zanzibar #tanzania #africa #catsofinstagram #catsofzanzibar #crazycatlady #missingafrica
It’s always important to learn and grow. Yesterday a few of my peeps and I took a class from the most wonderful lady named Barbara Mitchell. Her energy was inspiring and her positivity was infectious. Here are two pieces I made with my newly learned techniques. #edmontonmade #yegmade #edmontonartist #frida #theurbangypsy
