I am always on the lookout for Fellow Canadians in Etsy. Sparkling Bliss is a wonderful Canadian jewelry shop, with some of the most unique pieces I've seen to date!
Where are you from?
Toronto, Ontario Canada
When did you start selling?
I started selling more than four years ago. I opened my Etsy shop January 11, 2007 and haven't looked back since.
What's the story behind your company's name?
My husband gave me the nickname "twi" and I chose sparkling because it reminds me of sparkling jewels. I later changed the "twi" to "bliss" to better reflect my shop.
What is your favorite product?
My "London Night" earrings are my favorite because I love vintage lucite and the frosted appearance of the beads. Come take a look!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/49540159/london-nights-black-and-white-frosted
Where do you find inspiration/how did you come about making these items?
I find inspiration all around me. It might sound cliche, but nature, music, sights and sounds all add to the design process. Sometimes while I'm browsing for beads, I envision how I can bring them together. I can visually create a piece and it's exciting when I bring the beads to my studio and they mesh, just as they did in my mind.
What are 5 things you want people to think when they see your product?
I'd like people to see my jewelry as elegant, transitional, functional, romantic and fun.
When you're not creating what do you like to do?
I enjoy shopping, spending time with my husband and my cat "Buckets", feasting on chocolates or anything else sweet and daydreaming about my next design.
Where else can we find you?
