There’s a quote that says, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” I never fully understood that until I began creating jewelry and building Midnight Sun Elegance from the ground up. Every time I set up my display at a market—laying out each pair of earrings, adjusting trays, and watching people’s faces light up as they explore—I feel a deep sense of gratitude.

Indigenous beading, practiced for generations across Canada and beyond, is far more than decoration; it is a living expression of culture, identity, and resilience. In this photo, I’m wearing earrings that hold deep meaning for me — they were created to honor my grandmother, Rosa Moses, a gifted Dene designer and beading artist whose creativity continues to insp
