Why did you decide to start a business?

I wanted to be an example to my children that you can truly do anything that you set your heart and mind to…And for that not just to be a cliché’.

What is your favorite client story?

Id work with a lot of local artists that never cease to amaze me with their creativity.  One of my customers came in with a group of friends.  I noticed that she seemed to be a bit sad. When I asked what was wrong, she mentioned that she had just lost her cat, Chin Chin.  I sincerely offered my condolences and told her that if she needed any help around the shop to just let me know.  How amazed was I when she took a painting by one of our local artist, Corinne Galla, off the wall and began to tear up. She said to me that Corinne must have had a little Chin-spiration, because the painting looked exactly like her cat.  So beautiful!!!

What is your favorite thing about being southern?

The hospitality, of course! 🙂  I love going places and feeling like just another member of the family!!!

What is the most important thing you have done to build your business?

My mom always has the best advice! One of the most important things she taught me in life was to always ask, even if I’m a bit nervous.  All someone can do is say no. Always ask. This nugget of truth has helped me time and time again in my business.

The Mason Shaker, The Mailroom Barber, and of course, Charleston’s Favorite Stone-Ground Grits, all available on our website!!!
