ABOUT US
When we moved to South Bend in 2008, we came for my husband’s job and didn’t expect to fall head over heels in love with the city. We witnessed the city’s rebirth and were blown away by the parks, libraries, free family events, shops, art, culture, and universities. This business is my little love note back to the community. Not only do I hope to earn money for our family, but to support the talented artists and courageous small business owners who call this place home.
