Hi! My name is Ashley (a.k.a. “Bright Shadows” on the internet). I live in Toronto, ON, love Queen St. West, tea parties and travelling to new places.
Bright Shadows blog is a place to share DIY projects, allergy friendly recommendations and how to create the perfect afternoon tea outfit. You’ll see a lot of ootd posts on this blog. I try not to limit myself to one particular style; I like to switch it up from Disney princess to slightly goth girl. Hence the name of the blog, which shares the namesake of my Jewelry Shop. During university I had an incredibly dull office job. To battle the boredom I surfed the internet and became obsessed with crafting, jewelry design and DIY websites. Soon I had created far too much jewelry for only me to wear; so an online shop and craft shows were the next step. My mantra is “Jewelry to add fun to a boring outfit” – words I try to live by every day.
This blog features the other (generally non-jewelry) projects that I keep myself amused with. I would consider myself a crafty fashionista and am also allergic to absolutely everything. When you are allergic to nuts, mushrooms, cod fish, and develop lactose intolerance as an adult…eating becomes a challenge. Sadly, the list seems to keep growing and sometimes it’s annoying, but generally I just need to be more careful than most. I’ll share allergy friendly gems I’ve found which make the Allergy Life suck less.
Let’s Collaborate
I aim to update the blog with a new adventure at least monthly (but sometimes more often). I’d be tickled pink if you wanted to connect or collaborate with me or learn more about Bright Shadows Jewelry. I’m always searching for the newest trend or nut-free dessert. Please reach out.
