About me

Gender Female
Occupation Florist
Location Clontarf Beach, Queensland, Australia
Introduction Early 2005, I opened the doors to Trinkets & Roses ~ a boutique florist and homewares store. This blog, is in part a tribute to this corner of my life. Today I make floral arrangements and jewellery pieces for my online boutique. I enjoy writing about life and flowers and also run handmade redcliffe ~ MADE WITH LOVE markets. Along with being a qualified Florist, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Special Education when I was in my twenties. My writings reflect my interest in human behaviour, especially finding purpose and motivation for behaviour. "Live out the deeper dreams of your heart with pure intent and beauty will grow in you and what you do". ~Janmaree
