All the jewellery in the display above was taken.
Attention comes in two flavours: welcome and not.
Clearly at least one unsavoury person had insinuated him/herself among the steady stream of appreciative visitors at this past Sunday's open house and "Salon des Refuses" at the Artisan Village. Ironically Shane (Shane Myers, initiator of the Artisan Village) and I had been discussing security arrangements just before the event, but had put that on the back burner pending the completion of the open house and art exhibition. Having thus cased the building, on the night of Monday/Tuesday the unsavoury one/s broke in. Among the items stolen was all of my jewellery.
The entire story, filmed on location in the Artisan Village, is well told in this CBC TV news report - the story is at 11:00 minutes into the broadcast, and includes close up shots of some of the stolen pieces.
