Thrifty Gifter /THriftē giftər/ (N) : One who crafts, up-cycles, and creatively re-purposes.
I never envisioned myself as a small business owner. I grew up thinking I would go into education, but ultimately graduated with a degree in sociology and psychology. A few years later, in 2014, my daughter was born and I dove head-first into Mommyhood and found that all I really wanted to do was to soak up every moment of her youth. So, I walked into work one day and gave my notice. And, just like that, a new chapter began.
In 2017, I opened a storefront in Little Washington, North Carolina! The journey was a whirlwind! With the love and support of amazing family & friends, t.t.g blossomed into more than we ever dreamed and I loved every moment of that chapter!
In 2020, my husband, Steve, and I decided to begin a new adventure as a blended family. Together, we have a home just outside of the gorgeous foothills of Western North Carolina where we raise our three daughters. These are the days; they are everything our hearts could have ever hoped for.
I am beyond blessed to have the opportunity to spend my days with the girls while crafting, creating, and growing my little business.
I still haven't "grown up" -- maybe I never will. Hopefully, I will "grow" all of my days; change with seasons, and always reach a little higher. Our hands are full, but so are our hearts!
