Any damn fool can put on a deal, but it takes genius, faith and perseverance to create a brand.                                        ~David Ogilvy

After filling Pinterest boards, creating idea books on Houzz, and sending links back and forth via Skype while working late into the night, Lisa Frame and Leticia Barr decided they needed a place to curate the many things they love with like-minded individuals who share a soft spot for living a stylish lifestyle, and incorporate the handmade and cottage industries who are making craftsmanship hip again.
