With our love of being near the ocean, my terrariums are inspired by these surroundings and include special shells, crystals and air plants. I have also loved learning how to dry flowers and source local products or gifts from my garden to make small dried wildflower posies and Australian native smudge sticks.
When I blend my herbal teas, I use local and organic suppliers, as we want to be sipping the most natural blends possible. My friends and family have certainly loved being my guinea pigs and sampling my organic tea blends this year!
Since my husband is a builder, and specializes in hardwood timber designs he is often coming up with recycled or repurposed timber creations for our home. Josh and I have been together since we were young and he is very supportive, always thinking of things I could reuse!
As a family, we love to take off hiking around the national park here, we love the salty sea air and to be near the ocean. One of the reasons I love to get into my studio is for self care, and to also encourage others to take time out to enjoy greenery in their homes, drink tea and burn a smudge stick, which is a little ritual I do to clear my home & studio and refocus my intentions. I feel like our generation is losing touch with being crafty and making items with our hands, and I’d encourage anyone I can to return to these simple ways that can help us be mindful, connected and present.
