How it Started

I initially started this blog about the lifestyle around Jacaranda Living to share insights, tips and inspirations relating to Jacaranda Living. Jacaranda’s story began 8 years ago when my mother, Cathy Deale, showed some of the beautiful embroidered linens made by African women in South Africa (where we are originally from) to shops in Boston and Cape Cod and received orders for them. And then…. even better – reorders!  Today, our young Jacaranda Living brand has grown significantly and I am very proud of my mother for her accomplishments. We have become suppliers to stores throughout the USA as well as web stores. As an influential contributor to the company’s website and sales (as well as the sleepwear model and Trade Show assistant!), I am pleased to start this blog to grow the brand’s influence and also to use it to talk about my other interests, hobbies and passions. 

I love food, fashion, traveling, drinking bold bottles of wine, dancing, and more. Follow my adventures @graciedeale.
