Architecture Firm/Engineering Firm - St. Louis, MO, US
The day I learned that my grandmother had picked cotton as a young girl to earn extra money changed my life, because I knew that my family on my grandfather's side of the family had been cotton plantation owners at one point. How could two completely different people be in such deep love? I could not understand it at the time. But then again, I was about 7 years old. Years passed and that piece of history stuck with me. Now my passion is architectural design and I share that passion with my customers and in my art. I have a passion, and it runs deep through the blood in my veins. One day, I started thinking. I was thinking about cotton. All the wonderful ways it gives back to us. Shirts. Underwear. Bed sheets, lingerie, stretch jeans, money, tire cords, fishing nets... the list goes on. The fact is: Cotton. Gives. Back. It simply gives back to us. My grandparents believe in treating others as though you would have them treat you. So to honor that, My Cotton Blossom also gives back. We donate to one person a month - from widows/widowers who need help with an electric bill or daycare expenses to a young newlywed couple needing help with a vet bill.
