Shannon brings a unique blend of creativity and skill to the business as both a custom sewing specialist and equestrian. With years of experience as a horse show apparel seamstress, she has designed and created high-quality, detailed garments for the show ring. Her background in sewing has shaped the precision, durability, and attention to detail that carries into every product we offer.
Together we create our aromatherapy line of scented candles, wax melts, bar and hand soap, mineral scrubs, and wellness products.
India Dembecki brings a creative spirit shaped by both her professional and personal life. As a dedicated healthcare professional, her career is driven by a genuine desire to care for others. Outside of her work in medicine, India finds balance through family, creativity, and hands-on projects. She brings that same level of heart, precision, and care into everything she creates.
India’s creative talents span a wide range of crafts, including:
• Designing shirts using vinyl, sublimation, DTF, bleaching,
and tie-dye techniques
