Hometown Treasures!! 🏆🏆🏆

THE ANTICIPATION IS OVER!

For years, people have asked me, Why don’t you sell your photography?

Photography has always been something I’ve loved. I’ve had the opportunity to show my work in a couple of private art shows in New Orleans, but mostly it has remained a hobby, a way to capture and preserve special moments and places.

I’ve thought about doing something more with it many times, but I never found the right way.

Until now.

I am SO excited to introduce FAMILIAR PLACES, created in collaboration with my friend Tina at West St. Mary Trophy Supply.

Using my original photography and designs, we’re creating 8-inch ceramic plates inspired by the souvenir and collector plates of years past, celebrating the places we know, remember and love. Each image is available in blue, green and burgundy.

And where better to begin than home?

Our first release is THE FRANKLIN COLLECTION, featuring familiar places from Franklin’s past and present. And just in time for Christmas, select images will also be available on beautiful glass Christmas ornaments!

And we’re already working on what comes next! Our next Franklin collection will celebrate our historic churches, followed by a collection featuring Franklin’s beautiful historic homes.

After that, Familiar Places will begin traveling beyond Franklin, featuring surrounding cities, communities and landmarks.

We’ll also offer custom orders using your own special image - a family home, church, business or any place that holds a special memory.

JOIN US FOR THE REVEAL!

Saturday, September 26th | 1–3 PM
FIFOLET Candle Makers inside Gather on Main
617 Main Street • Franklin

The collection will be available for purchase Saturday and afterward in our studio. All purchases and orders will go through Gather on Main - just see one of our friendly Krewe members to reserve yours!

I’m so excited to finally share this with you.

FAMILIAR PLACES
Places Remembered. Stories Preserved.

Mark your calendars, get a head start on your Christmas shopping, and we’d sure love to see you Saturday! ❤️

And tell us… what Familiar Place should we preserve next?

THANKS FOR SHARING!

Friends Forever!! Hallie loves her dear friend Atlas!! 🩷🩷🩷 Friends Make Life so Sweet!! 🎊🎊🎊

Sometimes you just need a hug from a friend. 🤍

There’s something so special about little arms wrapped tight and hearts full of joy. These sweet moments remind us that love, kindness, and friendship start early.

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." – Ephesians 4:32

We are so thankful for the friendships growing in our classrooms each day. 💕
