Necessary Luxury

Jacqui Tyson

Managing Director – From Thought To Finish

The Miniature Working Tools are my professional wine opener and my pliers. These are tools of my trade and I may be on a site and all the pliers disappear and I may need to remove a staple or twist a binding wire.

I could also be on a catering location and there is no professional wine opener available, which is a pet peeve of mine. My BlackBerry charger: my clients must always be able to reach me and a dead phone is so taboo.

When my spirits need a lift and I want to free my mind and relax my soul, my little pocket book of inspirational words helps to calm me and put things in perspective.

My purse, which seems to have everything in it, helps me keep track of the bills that need paying and for any spur-of-the-moment purchases that could bring my decor together, and of course my lip gloss, because fabulous is never an option, only mandatory.

When my day is done, my keys open the door to my house where I can relax and prepare for the next day.
