The company began in 2009 as an inspirational idea by company founder and owner, Kay Stanley, while living at her original seaside cottage on the small island of Daufuskie. A bridge-less island, Daufuskie is located just one nautical mile from world-famous Hilton Head Island and is known for its eclectic charm, natural beauty and unique history.
