My grandfather, Sam, was a doer. There was nothing he couldn’t build, arrange, or reimagine. Recognized for his floral masterpieces and his eye for interiors, he had a way of turning the ordinary into something extraordinary! As my grandmother always says, “He could make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” My grandfather passed in 2019 yet I see him everyday through flowers, his art he made me & a butterfly passing by in the garden

And then there’s Paulette... Gammy to just about everyone, and my very best friend. She lives for the moment and chooses beauty every single day. From the way she dresses to how she tends her garden or writes a thank you note, she makes life feel like an art form. Her joy is contagious, her spirit always up for anything, and she teaches me more about life, love, and creativity every single day. Fun fact: all the watercolor art you see on this site is painted by her. An incredibly gifted artist and designer.
