My story begins in a small town along the Mississippi River, Vicksburg.  It's my home and where my love of fine linens, elegant table settings (especially those monogrammed!) started.  My mother, Carolyn, was a collector of fine linens, silver, and crystal. To be a guest in her home was such a wonderful experience and she had a way of making everyone feel special. Her love of all things "elegant" was a significant influence in my life from a very young age.
