ABOUT US
Lisa is from south central Pennsylvania, where she spent
weekends in the country on family farms and her teenage
years living on a working poultry operation. Caring for

were all part of life for her family.

Strong work ethic, a characteristic instilled at a young age by
entrepreneurial parents, hard working grandparents & great
grandparents, is a trait Lisa is extremely grateful for. As is a
willingness to get her hands dirty. The "hands on" tactile
nature of her work in the tile industry is well suited to Lisa.

Amalfi region, you can find numerous small tile artisans, designing and producing cheerful majolica
tiles and pottery in the traditional southern Italian motifs, patterns & vibrant Mediterranean colors.

curves, Positano is an hour (or two) south of Naples. Some day, we'll host Italian road trips with
small groups of our adventurous clients...only for the fearless though, we travel with no reservations!
