If you were to receive a bouquet...what type of flowers must be included?
 If possible there must be Jasmine included. I just love everything Jasmine: tea, perfume, scented candles...But I also like it when the bouquet is just white Lily flowers. They smell amazing and the whole house is carrying the wonderful scent for days and days.

What would be your perfect Mother’s Day gift?
If money would not be a question, it would be a trip to the Maldives for at least 3 weeks or so. Of course it would have to be in a water villa with every day Spa treatments. "Dream....."

What is your favorite memory of your own mom?
There are so many of memories of my mom but I think my favorite is when she convinced me to get a tattoo. I never thought she would actually consider that appropriate and it was such a random thing to do at the time that I thought it was funny.

What is your best selling item?
I believe my handmade clutches or my best selling item. They seem to go faster.

What is your favorite design from your shop?
I really like the pleated pouches that I have made recently but then again I also love the lace pouches I made too. It's hard to choose between the two.

If you were to receive a bouquet...what type of flowers must be included?
Orchids would be included. I really love those flowers.

 What would be your perfect Mother’s Day gift?
If I was a mother I think the perfect gift would be something handmade from my kid. I used to make things for my mom all the time and I think those are cute memories.

Any words of wisdom for the other moms out there?
Just let your kid be the person they were born to be. It's easier on you and them in the long run.

What is your favorite memory of your own mom?

I am not a mom, but I do recall magical times spent with my grandmother and aunt – both of whom were mom-like figures in my life. One of my favorite memories was with my grandmother. We sat on the edge of her bed while she brushed my hair and we just talked. It was a liberating moment for me.

 What is your best selling item?

What is your favorite design from your shop?

My shop recently opened, and I have yet to make a sale, but my favorite item in the shop is a square apricot and lavender silk scarf. I love the color pattern and apricot is such a bold color against lavender.
