Originally from the foothills of NC, I grew up in a family of Appalachian quilters, where creating art from textiles was as natural as breathing. About 20 years ago, I discovered my love of basket making, which has since evolved into the beautiful cotton baskets I lovingly handmake each day. All of my baskets are sewn with 100% cotton rope, manufactured right here in NC, and adorned with various ocean-side treasures like driftwood and shells from the NC coast. After moving to Atlantic, NC, I began creating more coastal farmhouse-style baskets and decor items. During the summer months, you can find me at The Olde Beaufort Farmers Market and other vendor fairs around Carteret County. My baskets are stylish, functional, washable, durable, and proudly handmade in NC.
