I'm Jennifer, and here are some facts about me:

  • I'm a school band director by trade, and a professional French horn player! High school band and marching in a drum and bugle corps were some of the best times of my life.
  • I love avocados!
  • I live in Texas with my husband, two super fun kids, a dog, one betta fish, and a lot of houseplants
  • I'm an adrenaline junkie! I love rollercoasters, scuba diving, and even went skydiving once!
  • I love to read books. Young Adult Fiction is my favorite genre!
  • One of my goals in life is to ride with the USAF Thunderbirds. (If you can make that happen, hit me up!)

         

I started Hickory and Elm as a way to provide extra income for my family and help change the lives of other families too.

  • We work with fair trade partners who promote ethical business and manufacturing practices. Under fair trade guidelines, artisans are paid a fair, livable wage for their work - which truly changes lives!
  • We donate a portion of our proceeds each month to a different organizations who are doing great things in their communities! (See this post for a list of those organizations!)
