Making a Splash, every year

Arts Umbrella, Baroque Pearls, Splash

When my two sons were young they got so much enjoyment from the programs at Arts Umbrella that it turned me into a life-long supporter of the arts school. 

So every year, I donate one of my necklaces to the silent auction in their annual fundraiser, Splash, which happens Thursday,  Nov. 3. This year it’s a rope of silvery grey baroque pearls mixed with silver beads, punctuated with a luscious amethyst accent stone and my signature marcasite clasp.  Like all my statement necklaces, it’s one of a kind.

The money raised by Splash goes to initiatives like the out-reach programs for kids from low-income families. I know the impact music lessons, dance, and visual arts have on early childhood development so I want to see all children have access to arts and culture.

If you’re looking for a charity, I can’t think of a better place to contribute than Arts Umbrella. Cash is always good. But they’re often looking for skilled volunteers and business donations. And their fundraising events are always big fun.

You can find the rest of the silent auction goodies here – there is are some wonderful paintings (my weakness) – along with links to where you can buy Splash tickets.

Statement necklaces for every day

While I love to see my necklaces swan off to glamourous parties and fundraisers, that wasn’t why I began making them.

ACD-Laine2

I started designing unique pieces for myself as a way of elevating what I called my work uniform – some variation on dark jeans and a white shirt. I was one of those ironically named stay-at-home moms. Ironic, because of course I was never home. I was ferrying children around between school and activities. Running the endless errands that go into managing a family home. And running my own part-time photography business.

So I was looking for statement necklaces that would take me from 7 a.m. to midnight and make me feel I was dressed like a grown-up. I wanted real silver, real pearls, and real gemstones since I think plastic beads and crystals are for children playing dress-up.

And today, most of my customers choose my jewellery for the same reason I did: they want to give their work clothes a distinctive, personal look that will take them from that first breakfast meeting to an evening at the theatre.
