Amy Nelson Hannon gathered goods and treasures to create Euna Mae's Heirloom Kitchen Boutique booth at a regional holiday shopping event. Not only did Amy find a market for her carefully curated products, but she discovered there was a growing demand for them. In a marketplace that swings from fancy and foraged to homegrown, Amy has settled on a perfect blend of family, friends, and food. Her message that welcoming others into your home can be uncomplicated and lovely is a refreshing voice in a hospitality field that is filled with complicated recipes, expensive ingredients, and, quite frankly, involves a whole lot of work. For Amy it always goes back to the heart--a heart to love, welcome, and serve.
