Actually anything and everything, Whatever my hand fall on I turn it into something new. Anything that's unwanted I find a use for it, so it never stays lying there for very long.



(5) What is your favorite piece from your shop & why?
Thant's very hard, it's like asking me which one of your 3 children is your favorite? but if I had to choose I'd have to say that they're my tea wallets, and they're my best sellers also. They are fun to make up and they are oh so practical.

(6) Is running your shop your only job?

Never give up no matter what others may tell you, believe in yourself and always work hard and never give up even if it seems worthless because there a lot of competition out there.
