For the Love of Tassels
I come by my love of tassels naturally. Growing up, my mother had a gorgeous collection of elegant tassels that hung off the key to our grandfather clock, on the antique bar cart, and all around our home. Christmas brought out festive tassels to brighten the holiday season. Over the years, I have traded the voluminous tassels with patterned ribbons for sleek, monotone silk tassels. Beautiful tassels hang on each bedroom door t...
Sailor Style with Fursatile
June Sailor, half the namesake of June St. George, is my 10 lb fluffy sidekick. While we call her Sailor, her name was June when I adopted her and being a true southerner she kept her beautiful long name, June Sailor Pansy. June Sailor loves to be in charge – she has her own seat in my office and enjoys joining in on video chat meetings. But her favorite part of the day...

Valentine's Day
One of my favorite days of the year was the day I would finally get to pick out Valentine cards to share with my class. Disney Princess cards or cards that you could attach a lollypop to were my go-to favorites, but no matter what card I picked, I loved to sign my name and seal each Valentine with a tiny heart sticker. My school days may be gone, but I’m still a sucker for wide-eyed teddy bears and conversation hearts for one simple reason ...

Power of Wool
I often see people hesitate over materials for their rugs. Many less expensive rugs claim to be “stain-resistant” or “indoor/outdoor” – which sounds pretty easy, right?! Wool sounds like a much nicer material, so it must be a lot more work? Wool rugs are not difficult to care for. I’m here to put the rumor to rest. Wool rugs are NOT difficult to care for. Wool is much more&nb...
Blue and White? Always a Good Idea.

Fabulous blogger Katie Grabner recently designed a beautiful bespoke rug celebrating her classic and timeless style. Self proclaimed prep, lover of blue and white, and mother of two has a knack for clean, traditional decorating. To compliment her chinoiserie home accents, Katie ch...
Inspiration Behind the Draper Collection
The Draper Collection Summer picnics, warm fall button downs, neatly wrapped Christmas presents….they all look best with little buffalo check! No matter the season, the versatile check transforms itself with color. Our inspiration for the Draper Collection came to us on one of those late summer days, when fall is starting to peek around the corner. We love those days – when the hot days melt ...
Why Monograms?
“A monogram, by literal definition, is a combination of letters, which are intertwined or overlapped to represent an individual, municipality, company, or kingdom. Yet, that definition does not begin to capture the essence of a monogram. What is the true meaning of a monogram, this basic form of personal expression that has remained a social constant throughout the Western world for nearly 3,000 years? A&n...
Weaving Together the Past, Present and Future
“Heirloom” is a word that carries pride and mystery. Some pass down furniture or jewelry. Some pass down quilts or wedding dresses. Some pass down stories and songs. Heirlooms comfort and connect us to the past – to our history. My grandmother recently passed down a different kind of heirloom – her infamous tea cookie recipe. Having the recipe was wonderful – having the recipe in her handwriting made it ...
Thank You!
First of all, welcome to June St. George‼ I am excited to be helping you celebrate your bespoke life by creating heirlooms! Launching my business and trying to be a “Girl Boss” (thanks Stephanie for that title!) took a lot of growth – I had to grow my confidence, I had to learn on the go, I had to make a lot of calls and I had to ask for lots and lots and lots of advice. It takes a village – or, in this case...
