Dixie artist duo Bonnie Cross and Currier Stevens of Tenn Hens Design created Caroline’s green and pink floral tastemaker card collection. This modern garden-inspired collection truly captures Caroline’s romantic and feminine style found throughout her artwork. Her two adorable little girls will look precious adorning the front of one of these cards!

Favorite Holiday Tradition:
Oh I love traditions! My favorite growing up was that my brother and I were only allowed to open one gift on Christmas eve and that was our gifts to one another. We put so much thought into those gifts and it was such a sweet way for us to focus on giving rather than receiving. Now that I have my own family, we love picking out and decorating our Christmas tree the night of the Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center. I make a big pot of chili and the girls decorate while watching and singing along to all of the pageantry. Also, I get to host my husbands family for Christmas Eve dinner and that is such a wonderful tradition that the girls and I go all out on.
