Young Castlemaine businesswoman, Elise Anderson, is busy this week making a special gift for a high profile visitor, Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth!

Elise was excited to receive an invitation to a reception for Queen Elizabeth at Government House on Wednesday 26 October. 

“I didn’t expect an invitation and can only assume it is because I won the Regional Achiever’s Award for trade and industry last year.”

With the royal corgis in mind Elise has decided to take along a gift of one of her Fair Dinkum Dog Coats that she hand makes and retails through her business Midland Pet Supplies. 

“It might be getting warmer here in Australia but perhaps one of her elderly corgis might appreciate an Australian made coat as they approach their winter,” says Elise.

And what will Elise be wearing on the day? 

“I haven’t thought about that yet,” she admits. “I’m just going to enjoy the moment.”
