Native

Fine fabrics get me all tickled pink.  I love the look and feel of quality textiles such as silk, wool, tweed, cashmere, embroidery and at the top of my list are woven tapestries.  Particularly a fine antique/classic rug.  I've had a thing for rugs for over 10 years and have a few eye-catchers in my own home.  Something about the handmade designs and rich colors brings beauty to a room.

I make it a mission to support local businesses and designers right here in North Carolina.  It's the American dream and also one of mine to be entrepreneurial with one's talent, bringing one of a kind goods and services to your community.
Native does just that.

This gal refurbishes tapestries into wearable accessories that add culture to your look.
Pair them over your classic pieces, like a crisp white shirt or denim, to add a pop of texture and interest or be extra fun and layer on the prints.  These unique textiles are sure to bring admiration.

With a variety of colors and patterns you're sure to find one that suits your fancy.

Allow me to introduce to you Allie Beads! Allie Beads is a local NC jewelry brand created and operated by a mother and daughter duo.  Nothing makes me happier than to shop local :)

It inspires me to embark on a venture with my Mamma hint hint

While at a trunk show at Beaufort Linen Co. I met Stephanie and she helped me choose a long strand of natural wood beads with scattered graphite textured beads intermixed, that offer texture and shine.  I felt that this piece would compliment so much and appropriate for office and weekend looks.  Wear it long or doubled, with prints or solids, over a dress shirt or on top of a tee, any way you pair it is sure to be pretty. 

Check out their Instagram & Facebook to see their designs.

You can purchase online or at various boutiques all over NC!
