What do you love most about running your business?
I love curating a space that people enjoy, even though it’s a small little space. I love that people come in and stay for a while, have a chat, stand by the fireplace, look at the beautiful views of the mountains, and browse the products that i love sourcing for our customers i love the extra little touches i can spoil my coustmoers with like beutiful gift wrapping.
How has having a business changed you?
It has been good for me to be able to have something just for me. I have loved being at home with my kids but i do like having a place to go.
What traits do you possess that have helped you in your business journey?
Having an easy going attitude, and being able to be creative in different aspects of my life, and the perspective that I see things from. Focussing on the fact that this is a creative outlet for me, and want to welcome people rather than be too business focused.
What are some thing you LOVE?
There are numerous things that I love, but some of them are my family and friends, sleeping in, and the season of Autumn. I also love cows, how they look and sound, I see a lot on my drive to work, and am always fascinated. Love also blessing people with unexpected gifts, and just out for walks in nature.
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
It would either be movie choc-tops or scrambled eggs, bacon and avocado. I think breakfast at a cafe is my favourite meal.
Favourite book/s?
Magazines are my favourite. I’m not much of a reader, but a good magazine or coffee table book filled with beautiful homes and creative spaces is so relaxing for me. I love just flicking through all the pages and taking in all the creativity.
Current (or recent) Netflix binge?
The Night Agent and Citadel are my top Netflix binge at the moment. Lots of action, oh i do love Virgin River too.
Describe your perfect house.
A country farmhouse with big beautiful trees, a tree swing, sheep and chickens and kids running around.
What superpower would you like to have?
Invisibility I think is the superpower I would like. I love being in the background and not being noticed.
What’s your ideal weekend?
Our weekends are pretty hectic with sports, church and running our own business including Cabin + Co and our BnB in Healesville. The perfect weekend for me would start with a sleep-in on Saturday. I love sleeping in, it’s my most favourite thing, then Saturday sport I do netball with our daughter, then a quiet afternoon pottering around at home and maybe a roast dinner. Sunday morning church, and I do love a local market, whether it’s a farmer’s market or a craft market. Wandering around with a hot chocolate, then maybe a bush walk or a mumma date with one of my kids or a sneaky movie is fun too.
