The absent customer and an unexpected award.
1st February 2020
An unexpected acknowledgement from the Townsville area
I am very fortunate to have customers from all over Australia. One of the areas that I continue to have a large base of customers in is the town I spent most of my childhood and early adulthood in, Townsville.
Thank you to all my wedding couples that nominated me in the Bridal Choice Awards for the region in the Jewellery category. I had no idea until my daughter who still lives there, emailed me the above photo.
Below are some of the pieces that I have made recently for customers that live outside of Cairns, noting their location. I am still amazed how this modern world allows me to create custom pieces with no fear of distance.
