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!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love most all music. I mainly listen to hip hop, classic rock, blues, and bluegrass. I'm also a huge opera fan.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I started a Mardi Gras marching club called The Raw Oyster Marching Club. We perform at events and dance in the parades here.
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.
My Interests
I find myself wanting to learn everything I can.
