✈️When we decided to move to Canada, I never imagined that one day we’d have our own little local store in the heart of Vancouver.

🧳As an immigrant, life is full of challenges—you start over from scratch, time and time again.

📸This photo was taken last night, after we closed the store. I took it as a reminder—to myself and to all of you—that we built this together.

🫶🏻Every step, every challenge, every success. We are fighters, dreamers, and creators. And through it all, we pour pieces of ourselves into the hearts of others, one handcrafted item at a time.💙

👊🏻No matter how many times life knocks us down, we stand back up and keep building. That’s what I call Local Community Love ❤️ —it’s what keeps me going, and it’s the heart of everything we do at Artisan Avenue.

I love every detail of our store. From the little doll in the corner to the stunning artwork on the left. The real flowers inside the jewelry, the big moss art—it all tells a story, and it’s all a reflection of our love for this community.

We are so proud of everything Artisan Avenue represents, and we’re endlessly grateful for the support of this incredible local community.
