My businesses: A Jones Company is a fun, eclectic and inspiring gift shop. We carry women’s clothing,<br />
such as Johnny Was, Barefoot Dreams, Z Supply, Dear John Denim and Walker & Wade. We<br />
also sell handcrafted jewelry, home décor, entertaining provisions, barware and hostess gifts. Our<br />
motto is “Provisions for Fun Living,” and we pride ourselves in delivering goods that do just that.<br />
Cashiers Candy Shoppe carries upscale, handcrafted confections. We offer truffles, Toffee to Go,<br />
Poppy Handcrafted Popcorn and Jelly Belly Jellybeans.<br />
Best Business Advice I Ever Received: Follow your instincts. I have carried that advice with me when<br />
buying for the shop to decorating the shop to hiring.<br />
Words of Wisdom to Other Women: If you have a dream—a vision of what you want to do—just<br />
do it! Don’t let anyone else tell you that you don’t have the capabilities, the skill or the means to<br />
accomplish your dreams.<br />
The Secret to Good Business Is: Listen to your customers and treat everyone with respect and a<br />
cheerful heart.<br />
Why I love Doing Business in Highlands-Cashiers: I have made many very good friends on the plateau<br />
by getting to know them in the shop. It is truly a joy to come to work each day just to see who<br />
I can visit with! Also, I get to bring Daisy and Dash, my wonderful dogs, to work with me every day!<br />
There is a strong sense of community here that is hard to find.<br />

My Business: Art Studio and Gallery<br />
Best Business Advice I Ever Received: Be yourself, be authentic.<br />
Words of Wisdom to Other Women: Be brave! Move forward! There are no failures, only<br />
learning experiences.<br />
Why I Chose This Career: I came from a graphic design background, designing for others. It<br />
was a big step to create work that came just from me. Being authentic in the work is hard<br />
but much more satisfying.<br />
The Secret to Good Business Is: Interacting with people who like my work. I love being at the<br />
gallery and talking to people about my work and the thought process behind it.<br />
You’d Never Guess That: I love keeping chickens and have built two chicken coops.<br />
Why I Love Doing Business in Highlands-Cashiers: The people here are so nice! The pace is<br />
much more relaxed than in the city.<br />
