I first met Miss Poppins when we both modeled for Miss Chrissy at the Melbourne Craft Fair back in June last year, and I have been wanting to show you her beautiful hand made creations ever since.

We finally crossed paths with her at a Melbourne market a few weekends ago, and it was so lovely to see her….look how beautifully she is dressed!

But first, a little background about this gorgeous lady…

Miss Poppins grew up watching her favourite film ‘Mary Poppins’ when visiting her Grandma’s house. This had a rather big impact on her because when she grew up & completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at USQ, where she majored in sculpture, Miss Poppins became a nanny in London just like her beloved Mary.

Eventually, she returned back to Australia and since 2014, she has been creating paper roses from books by lovingly & individually hand cutting each petal & leaf, assembling & gift wrapping bookquets.

An interesting choice since she has is not exactly a bookworm and has a black thumb when it comes to gardening, but there is no denying that Miss Poppins creates blooms of magic from pages of pre-loved books…and not just words…music too!

The flowers can be used in all sorts of ways…such as bookquet displays…

She has also designed twinkle lights…they are battery operated LED lights so they don’t need electricity and can be placed anywhere.

Each flower is unique and Miss Poppins is happy to take custom orders if you have a particular theme in mind…
