Melbourne, Australia: for anyone who has visited this lively & buzzing city, you can close your eyes right now and visualise the hustle and bustle, the sounds of the birds, the screech of the trams, the click of gears, the woosh of bikes passing by.... it all works, it works well, people from all over the world who live and visit this city.. coming together in harmony... I love being there and I love sitting back and watching it all work.

Giving our guests beautiful gifts is one of our favourite pastimes !
