Hi there! I’m Hannah from Kent, and welcome to Coca's Curiosities, home of my weird and wonderful crafts and adventures. I like to make dead things pretty and bring nature into the home.

I have always had a passion for adventures, photography, and collecting strange yet wonderful things and that's why I have created Cocas Curiosities, a place for me to share the parts of my curious mind, the skills I have learnt and the journey of making dead things pretty. I enjoy learning new skills and information, if I can make something rather than buy something I will.
