Hats are my life! My mother taught me how to make my own hat at age 13. And I have been breathing hats since. Being a milliner in South Africa can be challenging, but rewarding.
About Me
I live in Annlin, Pretoria with my two Jack Russell dogs, Casper and Buks. I am engaged to a voice artist, Frank Botha, getting married December 2012.
