Movie Buyer Sister and Two Shopkeeper's Daughters

I’ve had a special guest popping into the store lately that you maye have run into - my sister, who has somehow managed to hang clothes, brainstorm ideas, offer killer feedback, and hopefully (fingers crossed) hang some wallpaper… all while looking effortlessly flawless.

She drives an hour from Decatur to Smyrna just to help, with nothing in it for her except sibling points and a sense of duty she definitely didn’t sign up for. And even though we’re three years apart and lead wildly different lives -she’s a globe-trotting set decorator married to someone equally adventurous. I have to admit: she didn’t fall as far from the shopkeeper tree as I once thought (or she may have preferred!)

Her career may be all movie sets and travel stamps, but when it comes to spotting a good product or helping shape a space, she gets it. And after all these years, her opinion still matters to me. Just don’t tell her I said that.

There’s something pretty meaningful about her showing up just because she wants to see it all come to life too.

So here’s to sisters. The stylish, generous, unexpectedly boutique-savvy kind.
