I've always loved the idea that our lives are made up of different chapters, each with its own story to tell.

As a librarian, books have been such a meaningful part of my life, so the word Edition felt especially fitting. June Edition isn't meant to represent my entire story. It's simply this edition of it.

June itself holds a special place in my heart. It's my birthday month, my granddaughter's middle name, and a sweet little connection to a childhood nickname my younger daughters gave their older sister — Junie.

And the little gold bee you'll see throughout my boutique? That represents a new beginning.

June Edition was created during an unexpected season of my life, when I had to step away from a career I genuinely love. I wanted to take that time and turn it into something positive, something creative, and something that gave me a renewed sense of purpose.

I don't know exactly what the next chapters will hold, but I'm excited to see where this one takes me.

This isn't my whole story. It's simply my June Edition.
