It all began when my Grandmother. who was also an artist put a calligraphy pen in my hand.  I was about 7 years old. From that moment I developed a love for art and writing.  As a child when we took long trips you could always find me with a notebook and a pen perfecting my writing styles.  At the age of 15 I started my business.  Back then it was Javan's Calligraphy.  I did everything from stenciling to matt cutting and framing.  I focused mainly on hanging wall art.  My artwork was featured in several well known gift shops in Massachusetts.  At 16 I worked in a local gift shop in my town.  While working on my artwork and framing skills I was introduced to candle maker.  Well, that was it!  I decided I wanted to pour candles & one day and have a candle company of my own. That is also  when I decided I would love to have my own shop one day.  Over the years I would set up booths at various events, art shows etc.  It wouldn't be till 17 years later when my dream of having a store front would come true.  At 33 The opportunity presented itself in my town in North Carolina, and I took it!  I sold my candles, artwork, and all types of unique gifts, but my dream had changed again.  In my travels I had met so many talented artist of all kinds. I knew how hard it could be to get your work featured, or carried in stores so I began consigning local artist of all kinds.  I had soap makers, quilters, singers, jewelers, potters, wreath makers, and so much more.  It was wonderful meeting so many people with such incredible unique talents.  I had planned on keeping my doors open for many years, but when I met the love of my life I knew I would be moving out of state.  After two years of being open I decided to close the physical doors of my shop and go exclusively online.  So...here I am.  Starting over from scratch a bit but I am excited to see what happens.  It's been an adjustment going from having a 2000 sq foot shop filled with items to starting all over again.  I am looking forward to this chapter in my life though.  So please be patient with the website as I add new products often.  I hope you'll continue to check back and see what's NEW!  It's an amazing feeling to be following another dream. 

Thanks for joining me on the journey!
