A DREAM BORN IN THE VALLEY
The view from the top is always spectacular. How do we get there you may wonder ? We always have to start at the bottom , in the valley. One step at a time, one day at a time, and for me it was one chemo session at a time, one doctors' appointment, one radiation session at a time. Many months, many tears, many disappointments along the way.
THE RED TULIP unfolded during a time when my future was uncertain but God was there for me every step of that climb through the unsurmountable valley experience. So were my incredible family. My husband, three beautiful children , my parents and my sisters as well as my extended family and friends.
I always carefully choose my outfits for every chemotherapy session. A beautiful dress would make me feel good. I remembered my lipstick too !
I had time to think, plan and dream as most of the rest of my usual daily life routine had changed .
I found great joy in drawing and designing garments, deciding on my business name and logo and seeing my dream become a beautiful reality.
THE RED TULIP STUDIO opened in October 2016 in EAST LONDON , SOUTH AFRICA
Why THE RED TULIP ?
~ Red ~ My favourite colour
~ Tulip ~ In memory of God’s healing in my life and our wonderful family cycle trip around Holland at the end of my treatment - two years after I was diagnosed with breast cancer and after my healing and recovery
I have met so many amazing people through my business and traveled to parts of the world I would never have dreamed of visiting before.
I have made many new friends around the globe and have also been able to help others through my cancer journey. People who have also faced mountains in their lives . I have made authentic connections to last a lifetime.
Here we find ourselves a few years later launching RED TULIP ONLINE SHOP and SUPPLYING BOUTIQUES with our beautiful range all around the country.
I would love to meet you or chat to you and share life with you. After all, that is my dream ~ not to only make beautiful clothing and accessories available for you but to share love and life.
I am always amazed at God’s grace in our lives !
With love
