Gma Linda (Jo's Mom) has been a behind the scenes "employee" from the beginning! Stamping every clothing tag, adding every piece of jute string, every safety pin and adding the fun little shop local touches to our amazing bags that make your check out just as fun as the shopping you did! We couldn't do it without her & wouldn't have it any other way!

Grandpa Jack (Jo's Dad) was a HUGE support from day one! He owned the building at 402 S. Live Oak Street for over 25 years. During that time he has seen restaurants come and go, his financial office close (which was on the second floor) and retired. He "happily" turned over the space to the next generation. Today his portrait still proudly hangs in his old office upstairs.
