Meet Gingham+GLOSS!

Howdy, friend! My name is Courtney and I'm the owner of Gingham+Gloss.  Thanks for stopping by my little colorful corner of the world, I'm so glad you're here!

Gingham+Gloss is a fun combination of unique finds, apparel, jewelry & accessories, home décor, gifts, party décor (y'all know I love a themed party), a few masculine items *to reward your husband for shopping with you or as a distraction "gift" so he forgets to check your bank account,* and other FUN products, or FUNventory, as we like to call it! Gingham+Gloss is a nod to my style: traditional classic styles (like Gingham 😉) mixed with bright, fun, new trends (the Gloss✨).

I also carry hand-made, hand-crafted and curated items like Nonna's Notes, Create Crates and DIY paint kits!

A little more about the face behind G+G:
A creative Jane-of-all-trades and entrepreneur from an early age I've been a hair stylist, make-up artist, a muralist, an insurance broker and many other things! But my favorite job (besides the job of mom to my two daughters and my son!) was being a trunk show boutique owner after my first daughter was born. I was working full-time, had a one-year-old daughter, but I was still missing something creative in my life.

Having a trunk show boutique business combined my love for clothing and accessories and making new friends with my love-language: gift giving. I loved curating outfits and finding special pieces, especially for my friends and family members. Carrying pieces I knew they would love and seeing the joy on their face when they tried on that special item was what I loved the most! That and hearing "My friend/sister/mom/daughter would LOVE this!" just fueled my passion for my business. But, after having my second daughter, working full-time, raising 2 girls and traveling to pop-up shops proved to be too much and I decided to shut down the business.

As busy as my girls keep me-I still missed it! In 2019 I was working on a plan to return to my roots and start painting and refinishing/re-purposing furniture again but was still waiting for a sign. Then 2020 hit. Let's just fast forward through that chaos... And one day in spring of 2021 I was driving to pick up groceries one day when I saw the sign "Painted Tree Boutiques Coming Soon" and I jumped in headfirst. Within 2 months, I had worked tirelessly to start up a brand-new business (hello Gingham+Gloss!) and here we are today. 

It is a never-ending energy-consuming- job, running a small business, but I love it! In a fun twist of fate, our third baby, a handsome baby boy named Jack, surprised us all and made his debut in December of 2023. He has been the biggest blessing to our family, but he keeps me from working G+G full time. He loves mommy cuddles, and who can say no to that!? Soon we will be shifting our focus and downsizing the business to focus on raising our three beautiful children. 

I couldn't have built this business without the endless support of my family, friends, neighbors, my daughters (they are my #1 cheerleaders!), my beautiful new baby boy AND my husband! He is an excel superstar, accountant extraordinaire, and IT for G+G... the wheels would fall off without him for sure. Thanks for being here and supporting small business, family, and our little corner of Katy, TX.

Thank you for shopping small y'all!
