For Many years I have always enjoyed Art Design & Crafts - just being creative. I have an Australian Diploma in Showcard & Ticket Writing.
However over the past few years, after being inspired during a holiday to Paris, I decided to put my hand to learning how to French Shabby Chic Furniture. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it & perfected it to where I am now. I have learnt how to produce products my customers are very happy with, & who then continually come back for repetative orders. Some of my customers include large wedding companies, restaurants, beauty salons etc. I never believe you stop learning, so I am always increasing my knowledge & furthering what I do to do it Best!
I now believe it is time to share my knowledge as it has brought me much joy & success!
