About me

Hello, my name is Pavlina, my nickname Is Mekenzie - I had a dog named Mekenzie! I live in a small town in Czechia with my husband, my daughter and my two dogs and one cat. My dogs are called Herbie (shih-tzu) and Yoshi (shih-tzu/brabancon.) The cat is called Zirafka. You can meet them on my Instagram! I work in Melnik, which is a town at the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava. My work consists of framing and selling art, glazing and car/tire service.
