Charms 'n Nuggets was originally conceived to represent my four beautiful gems, who are my 'Lucky Charms' and are as precious as Gold Nuggets if not more. To date, I have two additional precious gems plus three gorgeous angels, my Cheery Cherubs.

From the start, I've visualized helping people create 'That Final Touch' without having to break the budget and being able to show them how. I've come across a number of relatives and friends who say they were born without any creative talent - I beg to disagree as my daughter was one of them. I've seen with my own eyes how her desire to learn coupled with flair and perseverance has enabled her to create lovely bows and fashionable babies' accessories and launch a successful worldwide business. 

Hence, this website where you'll find Wedding Accents,Vintage Embellishments, How-To Projects including:

• vintage laces 'n appliques
• antique style charms 'n vintage found objects
• Pergamano-Parchment craft 'n paper craft
  
• Swarovski crystals 'n pearls
• unique ribbons 'n embellishment bows
• embellished flowers 'n leaves embellishments

I inherited my love for handcrafted items from my late mother, Chary, who loved fiddling with various types of handmade crafts as I was growing up. She taught me how to use her precious sewing machine (which often brought her grief as I struggled to make the pedal, needle & thread work in harmony). She also made Christmas decors, her favourite of which was making and decorating Christmas candles in her unique way; created Cherry Blossoms out of cotton balls wrapped in straw material then attached to dried twigs; crocheted beautiful pieces; did lovely embroidery; and much more. 

I started my hobby in 1985 with four original designs of Wedding Ring Cushions named after my gems & a Bridal doll, which were sold to Bridal Boutiques in the Sydney Suburbs. In 1988, I opened up a partnership with my husband and diversified my original designs to include Christmas, Easter and Flower & Wreath arrangements. I then ventured into the wonderful world of export as my designs appealed to the American market. This was then put on hold to my raise four gems, who are now polished individuals.

Through the years, I learned various types of Arts and Crafts like Oil Painting, Papertole, Pergamano or Parchment Craft, and more. I'm applying all these to designs that are handmade for you.
