Getting To Know ... Helen from Ensparkle

Helen Bremner is the chief creator behind Ensparkle Ceramics

I am passionate about … my family, chocolate, languages, travel and of course my business (not necessarily in that order!)

I get frustrated when … I receive bad customer service

I started my business because … it occurred to me there was a chance that other people might like the stuff I was making!

If handed $100,000 in an envelope and instructed to spend it however I pleased, I would … buy a kiln! Then I would book a lovely holiday and fly my close family over to join us.

If I could be anywhere right now I’d be … wandering the streets of Rome, stopping for the occasional espresso.

I am most proud of … my gorgeous boys – I am so lucky to be their Mummy.

My favourite item from our product range is … the cobblestone cow milk jug, although I am a sucker for a pretty cake stand too.

My heart sings when … my two year old says ‘good moaning Mummy’ and gives me a cuddle.

The hardest part of running my business is … starting work after the boy’s bedtime. Young children and ceramic painting don’t mix!

I love sipping on … an iced latte or a Baileys on ice if it’s been a hard week

A person I admire greatly is … my Mum – she raised five children and is still there for us all when we need her.

The best part of my day is … bed time!

My favourite food is … tiramisu or bresaola (Italian cured beef)

I struggle with … there not being enough hours in the day

Friendship to me means … being there for each other through thick and thin

I just can’t live without … my husband. He is my best friend and also my live-in computer expert!
