EMILY HARAZIN
co-owner

Emily calls Glen Ellyn home, where she's raising three kids with her husband. When she's not at the shop, she loves quiet mornings, beach days, organizing just about everything, exploring new projects or dreaming up fresh ideas for the business.

Her decade-long career as an elementary school teacher fostered a passion for education, leadership, and creating warm, welcoming spaces. She now channels those strengths into helping others embrace a more intentional way of living.

SARAH STARK
senior shop associate

Sarah has lived in Glen Ellyn for the past eight years with her husband, Matt, and their three daughters, ages eleven, eight, and four. When she is not busy keeping up with her daughters, you can find her taking a Drip Yoga class, working at à la main a couple of days a week, or hunting for her next great antique, thrift store, or estate sale find! Sarah brings happy energy to the shop and has been a part of the team for years.
