Our Story
I was a creative tween, and to this day, Iโm a sensory girl at heart. The kind of girl gets lost in those experiences of sight, touch, smell, sound & taste. I can gaze lovingly at some of the epic Street Art in Perth for so long, people stop to ask me if Iโm ok. If Iโm eating something spectacular, please donโt talk to me, because Iโm fully immersed in my food experience and itโs likely I wonโt answer you. Iโm the girl that salespeople hate. I walk around the stores mixing and matching artwork with furniture, linens with cushions, and pulling the tops off candles to inhale their fragrance, even though Iโm not there to buy anything. #rebel. I'm a little weird. I don't like clowns or balloons (theyโre too unpredictable). I mime the words to Happy Birthday while everyone else is singing their little hearts out. I often feel personally victimised by innate objects, and the language that comes out of my mouth when they fail on me would embarrass a trucker. I do a mean crab dance. And I spend an average of 45 mins looking for the perfect spot to sit at the beach. (Should I put my towel on this plot of sand with a view of the ocean, or on that other plot of sand, with the exact same view, a few metres away? Better think about it a little longer.) I'm also gutsy, I'll give anything a go, and I'm a huge believer in driving social change.โ
I haven't always been lucky enough to live a life of creativity. I never thought I'd have a desk job. Creative chicks drive Kombi vans, don't shave their armpits, walk around pantless, and wake up in a different beachside town every morning, right? But you know, you're thrust out of high school and at the tender age of 17, sometimes life has more influence on you, than you have on it. Enter stage left, desk job. Before I knew it, I was shaving my armpits, putting on pants, and nailing senior management positions in high performing environments, from health, to homelessness, to sport. I also managed extra study, extra work, and various charity drives around Perth. I did pretty good, if I think about it. #winningatlife.โ
But... as I got older, I started to think about what it was that made me happy. Like really, shout it from the rooftops, you do you, I'm gonna do me, happy. Being my own boss makes me happy. Being creative makes me happy. Getting lost in a book makes me happy. Writing makes me happy. Letting my brain do it's thing by creating it's own forms of art is what me living my best life looks like. Then, one day, I was asked to organise my best friends baby shower, and I wanted to do a boho picnic (can you see where this is going?) The creativity I used to have, suffocated by too many years of "Adulting" exploded back out of my body, and before I knew it, running around living on coffee and a dream of having my own business turned into running around living on coffee and actually having my own business.โ
You might be asking why I've said "Our Story". That's because behind me is a team of people, family, friends and local businesses that build me up, believe in me, and supply/design/create/paint/bake/cook among many other things for me, bringing boho & prosecco to life. In particular, my husband Ryan, who married a hurricane, but accepts my crazy lifestyle and my constant need to be busy, who is dragged from set up to set up, faced with my constant requests to make me new stuff, and unequivocally puts up with the house being a s**t storm of either items for charity collections, or items for picnics. He also makes sure I don't live on a diet of Peanut Butter & Vegemite Toast (one of each, thanks). #husbandgoalsโ
