About

My name is Fatima and 'The Lucky Packet' is my personal lifestyle/arts/crafts/design/decor/foodie/etc experiment.  Now and then I do blog about other things, but I try to limit it to the beautiful things that I find.

I am based in the beautiful country of South Africa and I'm inspired by the beauty that surrounds me; from the veiny little leaf on the pavement or to the clouds tinged with pink over the Highveld horizon.  

I enjoy tinkering about with petals and paint, and that is how this blog came about;  I just had to track my attempts.  When I'm not laughing at my mishaps on my craft table, you can find me surrounded by my books, visiting a new coffee shop, or whipping up a batch of cupcakes.


So, I guess you must be wondering why I chose the name 'The Lucky Packet'?
Well it has a hint of nostalgia.  I love reminiscing over days gone by and buying Lucky Packet's with my family was one of my favourite things to do as a kid.  Lucky Packet's are wonderful as you're always pleasantly surprised at what you're going to find inside, and I guess that's what I hope this blog can achieve.
