If you love all things creative and beautiful, this episode, showcasing a local business with a mission statement that begins with "Our primary goal is to honor creative expression," is a must-listen! Pam Hess, owner of Albertine Florals, Wine, and Gifts in Denver, NC, shares with this episode's host, Hanna Schoenrock, about how and why she and daughter, Kate, decided to buy the floral and gift shop.

Kate, an artist who was already working at Albertine for former owner, Judy Armstrong, had a vision when Judy decided to sell her shop. Together, Pam and Kate bought the shop and jumped in eagerly to learn about everything from store signage to permits for selling wine to arranging  flowers to creating custom silk arrangements. And then they expanded the space and made room for local artists to bring in their wares and for local groups to hold events.

Pam and Kate work with around 18 local artists regularly--potters, painters, wood turners and wood workers, jewelers, quilters, gnome creators, candle makers, and metal workers among them. Some of the artists have their works displayed daily, and some participate in twice-per-month pop-up events that include wine tastings. In addition to the pop-up events, you can find (socially distanced) book launches and book signings, paint-your-wine-glass events, networking events, make-your-own-bouquet  events, and meet-and-greets with local groups.
