Thanks for the info Peter. I need to take the time to read her bio.
I'm sure her life is very interesting. She did briefly mention some of
it though.

I would have loved to have taken more time with her, but I popped in
out of the blue and I know she has a lot of "top end" clients who's
orders she needs to fill.
She makes it all by hand, no machinery so I didn't want to intrude too
much.

Perhaps sometime in the near future I'll have more time with her.
