About Me

I am a chef by trade. Love cooking desserts, Italian food and feeding my family with good food made with love. I love anything to do with cooking, whether it is cook books, recipe cards or vintage cooking things. I love it all! I have a love affair with Mrs Beeton.

Love paper stationary; crochet; cross stitching and colouring in!

I have a 22 month old daughter, who is amazing and just starting to talk. My husband is the nicest man in the world and puts up with me talking a million miles an hour!

I am a social media junkie and just started studying a Bachelor of Business.

Favorite Music

I am a massive 80s music fan.; Think Hall & Oates, Huey Lewis and the News, Toto, U2.....so many more!

I also love pop music and every now and then jazz and classics like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Comment: Thanks a lot for the beautiful envelope you used. Wow, may be the most beautiful piece of mail I have ever seen. And thanks for the airmail themed goodies. I abosuletly love airmail envies! It would have been nice to hear something about why you love snail mail (was in the swap description). Oh, and next time don´t forget to mention the name of the swap somewhere to avoid confusion.
Response: Oh! I am so sorry that I didn't write that. I thought I did on the envelope the mail name. I love airmail because of comments like the one that you left me! :) Thank you for the feedback!
