OUR STORY
SWEET FAMILY MEMORIES
Freshly planted tomato vines, the hillside covered in purple phlox, playing hide and seek amongst the fireflies and freshly baked cookies. These are the memories of my childhood summers spent with my grandparents. Those days were filled with laughter, family and love and where my creativity was sparked.
During those summers I saw the care my grandfather took in keeping the lawn green, the red geraniums blooming and the tomatoes bunny free. My grandmother and I would hit the thrift stores where we would find ordinary pieces that were transformed into treasures. She taught me to cook, set a pretty table and the baking.... So much baking!
As I grew and started my family, I found myself incorporating the things I watched and learned during those summers into my own home. Every summer there are potted geraniums, the jelly cabinet that housed the ingredients for her baked goods is now in my kitchen and I spend hours and hours scouring flea markets for vintage treasures and antique fairs all year long.
This site is a labor of love and I couldn't think of a better way to honor and show my deep appreciation to my family for showing me how to make a house, home. Welcome to Flint & Bailey.
