Personal bio: Born and raised in Boston, Mom to 3 sons, kidney donor, love of everything repurposed, cuff-maker in charge, living and loving the “downtown life” since recently buying a 1930’s home in the Willo Historic District.

How did you start your business & why? Started after being laid off and realizing that the next chapter in my life needed to feed my creative desires and focus on sustainability.

How would you best describe your style and the items you sell? I make Eco friendly cuffs repurposed from belts that I find at local church fairs, resale shops, and neighborhood rummage sales. Our styles are as diverse as the belts we find, from Funky to Country!

When was your first Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market?  I teamed up with Moonstruck Vintage for the first JITT which was held outside in the parking lot. I was also a vendor in one more (can’t remember actual date lol)

And what is your favorite part about the event? Or a favorite memory? The incredible enthusiasm and excitement that continues to grow for this event.

What’s your favorite place to get away in the summer? Martha’s Vineyard.
