About me

Gender Female
Location SWELLENDAM, South Africa
Introduction Call me an entrepeneur. I have had an antique business,a boutique hotel, a restaurant, a children's brand called Jam, and a body and bath product retail chain called Rain. I have written a book on natural soap making, walked the Camino Frances and survived breast cancer. My entrepenurial life has been a roller coaster epic tale of Snakes and Ladders. Always filled with God given creativity and innovation, I am currently making preparation for my next new and exciting business venture while I live a peaceful life with my husband on a tiny farm nestled in a green valley outside the village of Swellendam South Africa. I am also a serial traveller - probably gypsy blood ! Born with an insatiable wanderlust, I am always ready to pack my trusty leather bag, and head out on the hunt and forage - looking for interesting ingredients, components, finished goods for my next venture.I would love to share the stories of my journeys to find the perfect goods for my store, stories of the makers, farmers, creators and I would like to invite you into a behind the scenes glimpse of the ups and downs of starting a new venture, and watch me give birth to a new brand.
