www.southernyankee.com It all started years and years ago. She then taught my mom, Nancy, when she was little.

My grandmother, Inez, learned to sew at a very young age. And then when I was about 10 or so, my mom taught me! Over the years, I have had many, many "businesses". I had my own clothing line, which I "sold" to my friends, a jewelry line "Junk to Jewels by Jen" clever right?? A nail salon out of my dorm room at Texas Tech (actually this one was profitable!) I was a Fashion Design student, so I coul

d put my sewing & creative talents to work. So after graduation, I moved to NYC. It was Christmas of 1998 that this latest busniess took off! I had recently married (the Yankee), and wanted to do something fun and cute as our "first Christmas card." The response to my card was overwhelming and a coworker even urged me to sell them! A friend (a fellow ZTA alum) was opening a stationery store in New York City, and agreed to let me use her as my "test market." And so I kept busy creating new and exciting handmade cards. And I haven't stopped since! The rest is history. You know what the problem is with owning your own company? You have to name it. My mom asked "what best describes you?" Well, I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, as an Aldinger (if you know me or my family... God love ya!)... and married a Yankee, so now I am an Angerame (who knew I would be Italian!). So it was then and there...

Southernyankee was born. Today I keep busy with all my new projects (in between school buses, homework, football practice and snack time). Creating all sorts of things, like finding a new way to bring life to your grandmother's handkerchief or doiley. So with a little help from my husband, Brian (the Yankee), and our 3 kids, Michael, Katie and Patrick, I present to you Southern Yankee. Y'all Enjoy!
