REFERENCE

BUSINESS

Megan joined us in 2002, a mother and daughter team in a new venture selling ribbons,wrapping paper as well as scrapbook materials in our shop in Olivedale.

Due to Megan's skills and artistic ability, we were able to add a new dimension to our shop as Megan taught us how to hand make invitations for weddings and other important events.

This very quickly became the pivotal function of Ribbons and Wrappings, which grew into a well known and regarded shop to buy exclusive hand crafted invitations.

Megan's skills were invaluable, her work was impeccable and her attitude was always to give of her best. As well as being a pleasure to work with.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
