Ītkins was recruited before the war by Canadian spymaster William Stephenson of British Security Co-ordination. The surname "Atkins" was her mother's maiden name and itself an Anglicised version of the original "Etkins", which she adopted as her own. Atkins also worked as a translator and representative for an oil company. While in Romania, Atkins came to know several diplomats who were members of British Intelligence, some of whom were later to support her application for British nationality, and to whom in view of her and her family's strong pro-British views, she may have provided information as a "stringer". Atkins was never to marry, and lived in a flat with her mother while working for SOE and until 1947 when Hilda died. He was killed in action in the Battle of Crete on. Later Atkins became involved with a young British pilot, Dick Ketton-Cremer, whom she had met in Egypt, and to whom she may have been briefly engaged. Atkins remained with her mother in Romania until emigrating to Britain in 1937, a move made in response to the threatening political situation in Europe.ĭuring her somewhat-gilded youth in Romania, where Atkins lived on the large estate bought by her father at Crasna (now in Ukraine), Atkins enjoyed the cosmopolitan society of Bucharest where she became close to the anti-Nazi German ambassador, Friedrich Werner von der Schulenburg (executed after the July 1944 plot).

Nakon povratka u Hrvatsku, shvatila sam da imam sada vise vremena i mogucnosti ponovno se angazirati i aktivirati u Avonu i sama izgraditi svoju poslovnu buducnost. Ukoliko me pratite vec duzi niz godina, znati cete da sam u mojim "beauty" videima vrlo cesto prikazivala i Avonove proizvode, bas zbog toga sto sam ih uvijek voljela koristiti i uvijek bi imala nesto njihovo u svojoj beauty rutini (a cesto sam kupovala i Avonov nakit!). Ja sam, naime vec dugi niz godina Avon Lady (sa Avonom se druzim vec sigurno dvadeset godina)! Dok sam zivjela u Hrvatskoj, imala sam i mali krug zadovoljnih klijenata, ali nakon sto sam se preselila u Italiju, nastavila sam povremeno kupovati proizvode samo za sebe i za svoju mamu. U ovom blog postu htjela sam sa vama podijeliti moju angaziranost u Avonu.
