A Little Bit About Me....
I hold qualifications in Biomedical Science and Naturopathy.
I come from a family of creatives. My father is an engineer and inventor, my mother an amazing seamstress, quilter and cook. (My four children are all incredibly creative and artistic too so it must be something in the blood!)
I have always loved to grow herbs, food and flowers and make things from scratch. Ever since I was a child I have been writing, sewing, mixing and making.
I am passionate about all things handmade and homegrown because they soothe the soul and lift the spirits in this fast paced world. They connect us to each other and to the Earth. And they remind us to slow down and savour the simple things.
Simple pleasures, like delightful handmade soap or a deluxe natural lip balm, add sweetness to life and create special moments in your day that make life richer and more meaningful.
I also know Life is sometimes HARD and we all could do with a little (or a lot) more creativity and kindness.
My wish is that everything you buy from Apple & Radish makes you feel a little more inspired, nourished and loved.
Open Tuesday to Friday 10 - 4 at 40 Southport Ave Tamborine Mountain QLD, Australia.
And remember you can shop online anytime!
I'd love to meet you in person, so if you are in the neighbourhood, please pop in for a browse and a chat.
In the mean time, go ahead and select a few special somethings for yourself or someone you care about. We post all over Australia and can arrange international postage too. Send us a message and ask for a postage quote. Or if you have any other questions!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you again soon!
