Atelier
Welcome to my magical Atelier.
A space where the magic happens, where ideas come to life. A sanctuary where my thrifted treasures are residing. A grand celebration of all things fare beauty and art.
About me

Find out more about my books
This beautiful book presents readers with more than 20 “widescreen” photographic spreads that capture the magic and mystery of the Harry Potter book and film series. Each spread features dozens of elements with at least 10 items hidden throughout each spread. Readers will be challenged to scour the jam-packed pages in search of these elusive treasures.
Each image is inspired by an iconic setting from Harry Potter’s story, from a great dining hall to a classroom devoted to potions and other compelling magic. You’ll spend hours poring over these extraordinary images, looking for those special hidden objects, but also just marveling at the beauty of what this world of magic has to offer.

From the atelier
Once a flowershop and now a magical place where creations are coming to life. The word Atelier comes from the French language, which translates to a workshop or studio especially used by artist or designer. In my humble approach I am both. I build an entire universe around my recipes. Every recipe has a story to tell. And a way of presenting these creations makes me feel I am a part of a movie set, a scenery where my soul wants to be at present.
