I am a French national but I have lived in many countries : England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong, South Africa, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and have visited many more.  I used to be a foreign languages teacher but I decided to give it up and make and sell jewellery instead. You can check out my website http://www.marticjewellery.com  I am finally giving free rein to my creativity and am a lot happier for it.

My two daughters have been kind enough to provide me with five beautiful grandchildren whom I adore and are a constant source of pleasure and happiness.

I have a Brittany spaniel appropriately called Bijou (gem in French).  I have my French grand-mother to thank for teaching me many of her creative skills such as embroidery, crochet, knitting, dress-making and weaving not to mention the art of cookery in which she was an expert.
