Jacqui Olver

Our dear friend, Jacqui Olver, has made several trips from Australia to the U.S.A. to visit us and offer help with The Holy Moly project.

Carla, Jacqui, and Adrian

We love and appreciate her for what she does to boost our spirits when we are feeling low and for simply being herself, doing what she does best: inspiring, teaching, promoting, experimenting, traveling, singing, inventing, consulting, caring, sharing, questioning, laughing, and helping others, enjoying life wherever she is! Thank you for all that, Jacqui!

Jacqui pitched-in and helped run The Holy Moly Drug Store, sharing her expertise and experience, during the Juke Joint Festival in April 2015. We certainly needed her help, as we had an eight-hour sales line-out-the-door situation, selling yummy ice cream desserts and espresso coffee & milkshakes. We couldn't have kept up with the customers and their orders, without her help! Good memories!!

Our most recent visits with Jacqui at Tasma House in Daylesford, Victoria, Australia, and at The Holy Moly in Clarksdale, Mississippi, have resulted in Adrian having a whole new wardrobe of knitted items! He isn't saying goodbye to the overalls, just yet, but Adrian has been sporting around in his new v-neck vests and a cardigan that Carla knitted under Jacqui's tutelage. During visits, Jacqui teaches Carla how to knit and construct garments. She is a great teacher!

We have lost count on how many trips Jacqui has made to the Mississippi Delta and other places in the U.S.A., but we are certain that she loves her visits. 

Jacqui seems to enjoy the Mississippi Delta!

We love having her around, too, on both sides of the globe -- doing what she does best: inspiring, teaching, promoting, experimenting, traveling, singing, inventing, consulting, caring, sharing, questioning, laughing, and helping!

We love to hear Jacqui sing with friends!
