Kate Skinner - Proprietor

River and Marsh is a dream long in the making. I’ve worn a few different hats in my day but this one I’ve blocked just for me.

Like many of my customers, I love shopping small. Boutiques, arts and crafts fairs, local festivals. It is only in places like these where you find personally curated and handmade products.

The opportunities for businesses like this to thrive has never been better. There is a prevailing wind bringing us back to the pleasures of small town life.

Getting to know my customers and learning their stories is as much a draw to my work as discovering new creators and being fortunate enough to showcase their work.
