Meet NANCY
I grew up in a small coal-mining town in Pennsylvania, where my parents owned a clothing boutique and tailor shop. I learned early that every stitch mattered, every customer deserved exceptional care, and lasting relationships were built one conversation at a time.
In our family’s tailor shop, customers didn’t simply walk through the front door—they often became part of our family, joining us around the dinner table.
Those lessons became the foundation of my 30+ year career and continue to shape how I build relationships, support independent retailers and the design community, and represent brands like VIETRI & ORTIGIA bringing heritage collections into thoughtfully curated, luxury living.
Meet VIETRI
Founded in 1983, VIETRI partners with skilled artisans throughout Italy to create handcrafted collections for the table, home, and garden. Inspired by the beauty of Italian craftsmanship and hospitality, each piece is painted, glazed, and fired by hand using techniques passed down through generations.
Timeless design, vibrant color, and exceptional quality make VIETRI collections beautiful enough for entertaining yet durable enough for everyday life.
Meet ORTIGIA
Inspired by Sicily’s rich history, vibrant botanicals, and Mediterranean spirit, ORTIGIA Sicilia creates luxurious fragrances, soaps, candles, and body care using natural ingredients indigenous to the island.
Working with master perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi and small family-run Italian makers, ORTIGIA combines traditional craftsmanship, striking design, and unforgettable scents to create gifts and everyday luxuries that delight the senses.
