About

I am many things (most of us are). In no particular order: wife (to my college sweet heart), mama (to one adorable little girl and two four-legged children), a world traveler (sort of), a designer, avid equestrian, dog lover, college basketball fan (go Charlotte 49ers!), nature lover and small business owner (welcome to my shop!) I draw upon these different aspects of my life and interests when creating my collections for the shop. Most of the items in this shop are personalized. I just love the added touch and thoughtfulness a personalized gift provides.

WHERE I BEGAN

Before venturing out on my own, I was a college media adviser, focused on advertising and marketing, to some pretty awesome students at a not so small university in southwest Virginia (Go Hokies!). Before that, I earned my degree in marketing at UNC Charlotte. I picked up my computer skills while working for my college newspaper. I’ve been working on my art skills my whole life!

WHY A PAPER SHOP?

I love stationery and paper goods. Like many stationery designers, I started out doing wedding invitations for friends. I realized though that what I really liked was social stationery and personalized gifts. Once I had my daughter, I started expanding into stationery and gifts for little ones.

I am proud to share that all of my designs are printed right here in the US by small, family or female owned businesses. I take great care in researching and testing products before I introduce them to the shop. If you are ever looking for something in particular please send me a message and I can see what I can find!

  • Monograms

    I love a good monogram and designing monograms might be one of my favorite things to do. The monogram options found here are both modern and classic. And you can put them on just about anything in the shop!

  • Equestrian Style

    Riding horses has been my "thing" since I was 7 years old. I have a true appreciation for classic equestrian style, but I like brighter colors and modern design. So I've set out to create horse themed designs that offer both.

  • Color & Whimsy

    I love color! Color evokes emotion and our favorite colors often share a part of our personality with the world. And rainbows aren't just for the kiddos!
