Her signature mushroom pieces are born from cherished memories of forest walks with her mother, a true forest fairy. Passionate about creating one-of-a-kind pieces as unique as the person wearing them, Neringa has recently collaborated with Samantha on a special collection, which is available in partner retail shops and online!

Gina hand mixes all of her clay to create colors her collectors won’t find anywhere else and her fully realized aesthetic lends itself to her celestial-inspired style of works.

Samantha is the Owner and Artist behind Little Small & Co. and here, two of her brands are represented: Carolyn Wood and Little Small & Co.
In November of 2025, she launched her new jewelry Collection, “Carolyn Wood,” which offers limited collections of her iconic works in a ready to ship format. Only 11 pieces/sets will be made, ever! so once they sell out, they will never return. This allows collectors to still get the unique experience of collecting her works at considerate price points without the guess work of commissioning their own piece.
For those who live for intrigue, items from the Little Small & Co. collection are available in stores and with full customization online.
Renee is the passionate Scientist behind Mrs. Bennie’s Boutique, a sophisticated brand of body care and home Enhancement products made completely by hand in small batches using all natural ingredients. Renee mixes formulas in her home lab and tests them extensively before they go to market. With an intentional goal of including people with sensitive skin, dermatological challenges, allergies and even asthma, her soaps, lotions, candles, oils and beyond are all formulated carefully, slowly and with great care. A portion of the revenue from your investment will go to AZL.org.
Christine is the always exhausted but never defeated entrepreneur behind the fun and inclusive brand, “Momming on Empty.” From her home studio in California, Christine mixes the most incredible saturated and elegant perfume oils from ingredients that she gets from local flower farmers. While many people in this space will use a heavy oil base, Christine’s perfumes boast principal ingredients from flowers, herbs and natural elements with only a hit of a carrier oil. This means her perfumes last all day and all night long and you only need a few swipes to achieve the scent effect of your dreams.

Alongside his wife Mel, an accomplished Microbiologist and entrepreneur, the pair work together to farm their land, tend to chickens and roosters and make jams and other jarred goods in an effort to grow what they eat and respect the land.
