Today’s Guest
Our guest this week is Blair Saiz, a wife, mom and entrepreneur. Along with her husband, Blair is founder of The Village Green, an online shop for beautiful handmade goods and decor for your home.
When Blair first began decorating her home as a young wife, she found herself wondering about the origin of many of the kinds of items she would buy at big box stores and decided she wanted an alternative. The Village Green features beautiful and unique items made by artisans you can know.
From their website: “We believe that when homes are filled with generic goods produced in far-off factories under dubious conditions, they become fragmented. The Village Green brings you beautiful goods – along with the artisan’s name, place and story – to connect you with the goods that fill your home and create a home, made whole.”
