I live in the serene, colorful seaside town of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi (near New Orleans). Here, I own a quaint antique and flower shop and I absolutely adore my job and my customers as well as my community. I love to travel when I can, and as a true merchant, I like to shop and bring back goods from other countries to sell in my shop. I meet new visitors every day and love to pass on my knowledge of the area. Lots of people in my community are artists, making it a colorful and exciting place to live!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach floral design and do so when I have the time to host workshops. I would absolutely love to share this with my hosts or guests!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good food (my husband is a chef), knowledge of the area, and good times! Fresh flowers, the beach, and the companionship of my animals.
