After all, you’re the type of person that believes:
• Celebrating is practically its own love language—there’s absolutely, positively NO REASON the “only on special occasions” china can’t come out on a random Wednesday night
• Quality time with your loved ones is like music to your ears—your best memories are barefoot kitchen dance parties & back patio conversations that watch as the daylight transitions into a starry evening.
• The repetition of answering questions like “what have you been up to?”
Or “what’s new?” is starting to make you cringe … gross. Just … gross. Bring on the deep convos & heart-to-hearts, ASAP!

We use items that bring your senses to life to cultivate a cozy and inviting environment. This helps to initiate comfortability. Studies show that when we are comfortable, we are more vulnerable and that is when true authentic connection can happen.
My name is Heather Stout, welcome to my little digital home! I live and work in sunny Austin, Texas with my three large, goofy pups. I love hosting, decorating, and creating lasting memories with the people who matter most to me.
