Hi, I am Lova, I live a simple and joyful life in a tranquil town outside London. I spend my days gardening, doing diy improvements for my house and working on my little handmade business (I make bags, purses, quilts, home and fashion accessories).

People often wonder where I am from. I was born in Madagascar, and grew up in France. I moved to England in my 20s.

My new book HANDMADE GIFTS can now be ordered on Amazon (written with several other crafters and published by DK, my contribution is on page 106 and my name is in the authors page, page 251):
