She is a go-getter with a serious potty mouth who has always dreamed of creating a space where people can shop local & support small business. Downtown Paris has always been the location at the top of her list & The Rustic Palm has always been the name she wanted to call her shop!

She is a moto wife (IYKYK), toddler mama, landscape designer and also a maker herself who runs Palm & Cedar Co.

When Mandy isn’t running around with her head cut off (we mean this almost literally), she loves to be outside - either soaking up the sunshine outdoors or travelling!

You'll notice that her baby girl, Averie is her little "mini me" and she is obsessed with matching her. You'll find A LOT of mama & mini me items in the shop as a result!

She grew up in Cambridge, married a country boy & has been a resident of Brant County for almost a decade now. She absolutely loves where she lives and is constantly amazed by all of the incredible talent to be found so close to home.
