Hi, I’m so glad you’re here!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where creativity meets heart. I’m a teacher by profession, but beyond the classroom, I’m a passionate decorator, thrifter, artist, and designer. I’ve always believed that life is full of hidden potential—whether in a person, a piece of furniture, or a quiet moment waiting to be noticed.

Here, you’ll find stories of transformation, creativity, and faith. From breathing new life into forgotten finds to sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way, I hope to inspire you to see the beauty in the everyday.

Think of me like a butterfly—drifting from one bloom to another, soaking up the wonder of God’s creation, and spreading a little light wherever I go. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you leave feeling inspired, encouraged, and maybe even ready to start a little transformation of your own.

The blog is my little corner of the internet where I look for the “extra” in ordinary days—the small sparks that make life feel truly extraordinary.

Here, you’ll find a mix of creative projects, thrifting tips, and honest reflections on the twists and turns of life. I’m embracing each new chapter with an open heart, curious eyes, and a passion for reinvention.

Our Mission
At Southern Ivy Emporium, our mission is to celebrate southern charm and sustainable living by offering thoughtfully curated vintage treasures, repurposed goods, and creative inspiration. We are passionate about helping others transform secondhand finds into meaningful home decor, while embracing faith, family, and a love for intentional, beautiful living.

But Southern Ivy Emporium is more than just a shop. It’s a creative community in the making. Through hands-on classes and easy-to-follow tutorials, I’ll show you how to breathe new life into secondhand pieces, infusing your home with timeless southern style and natural elements.
Whether you’re here to shop or to learn, I’m so glad you stopped by. Let’s create something meaningful, beautiful, and a little bit magical—together.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. Let’s make something beautiful together.
