Fun Facts About Me, Jayne Graham!
Well I really wanted to answer these questions myself as they are a bit of fun! So here goes, here are 10 fun facts about me, Jayne Graham - Owner & Curator of this website you are on Cranmore Home & Co.
-
What is your favourite product from your shop and why– no pressure 😊?
Well, being the owner and curator I can’t be seen being biased to any brand! But I do love Pony Rider, Bedtonic, Uniqwa, The Paper Mill Studios, Mustard Made, Pop Up Desks, Al.ive Body … have I missed anyone 😊?




-
What is your process when looking for new products for your store?
I like to try and source boutique brands, not ones you can find in major retailers or all over the internet. I do not import any products myself so I try and find unique Australian businesses that are sourcing or manufacturing their own products and include them in our store. I love this part of the job!

-
What are some of your other favourite artists or creatives that inspire you?
I am a big fan of both Emma Mills from the Paper Mills Studio and Karina Jambrak, I love how they have both taken their creative passions and turned them into their businesses, it takes guts to do that and I think it is awesome. Plus I don’t have a creative bone in my body, I’ve tried everything from block printing to embroidery and I have to stick to running a business!




- If you could live anywhere, describe where your ideal home would be.

-
What is your favourite Netflix/stan/binge watch programme and why?
My list goes for ages, I think I have watched everything. My favourite must be Outlander, I am in love with Jamie Fraser! Others include Bridgeton, Bump, Billions, Sex Education and I really love Zoe's Extraordinary Play List, made me cry a few times though …. And so many more!!

-
What do you love to do when you are not working?
Give me a swim in the ocean (flat and glassy), followed by a day spa treatment and dinner out .. oh sorry I’m daydreaming! When I’m not working I am being MUM! And watching Netflix! I do love both.


-
What would you say is your spirit animal, and why?
Hmmmm, maybe a meerkat. Loves to hide away most of the time, but when above ground I love to be surrounded by my family and friends. Also love a good laugh, and I always think of “Alan, Alan, Alan” (you must google Alan and Meerkat if you don’t know what I am talking about) when I think of Meerkats which is right up my alley when it comes to sense of humour!

-
If you could invite anyone to dinner to have your favourite meal who would be around your table and why (you have 5 seats)?
My Dad – he has been gone over 13 year and I miss him! He would also love Jamie!

-
What is something that not many people know about you (that you are happy to share 😊)
I am super scared of waves due a close to drowning experience as a teenager? Love the ocean but it needs to be dead flat or little waves I can go under without feeling like I'm going through a washing machine!
-
What wise words would you give a younger version of yourself?
It’s ok not to know what you want to do when you are younger! Follow a passion that you love and see if you can make it your future and then you will love doing it every day. Experience is key and enjoy life - you only have one!
I do hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little bit better!
Love, Jayne x
