Hi, friends! I wanted to take a moment to share a little about me and the heart behind The Country Gathering.
I grew up with a very entrepreneurial mother. Her love for antiques, flowers and decorating was instilled in me my whole life. My dad opened a small country market when I was in elementary school. I remember the local community members coming in, sitting and chatting together. Drinking a cup of coffee and talking about the weather!
I always knew that I wanted to be a shopkeeper! Over 20 years ago, I opened my first shop of home Decor and gifts.
​
In addition, I became a vendor in several other store fronts and had many connections in the vendor and artisan environment. I knew that I wanted to combine my knowledge and love of retail with the beauty of local artist and crafters.
Owning this store has been such a rewarding journey. From the very beginning, I’ve poured my passion into creating a welcoming space where people can come together, discover unique finds, and share in the excitement of the products we carry.
For me, this isn’t just a business—it’s a community. Whether you’ve stopped by to browse, chat about the latest artisan’s creations, or just say hello, you’ve made an impact on my journey as a store owner. I’ve always believed that shopping local isn’t just about the transaction, it’s about the connection we make with each other.
I’m incredibly grateful for the support you’ve shown The Country Gathering, and I’m excited to continue bringing you the products and experiences you love. Thank you for being part of our story—I wouldn’t be here without you!
