Welcome to Ladies’ Month of May!
Happy May issue to all and a very happy Mother's Day to all mothers. I am excited to share some amazing and creative women with our readers this month.
This issue Managing Editor Brent Burgess explores the vision of Garrison Brothers Distillery with Nancy Garrison, a fearless woman with a mission to make the finest product and lead with a strong female presence behind what is the traditional male industry of distilling. Her voice in the Garrison Brothers brand led to the creation of the HoneyDew bourbon, a flavor profile she produced to expand the possibilities of fine bourbon.
Secondly, I am honored to share two stories by Writer Amy Tucker which are profoundly important to our community. WIN (Women's Innovation Network) is a wonderful addition to our community roster for women in business to network, with a carefully curated list of events encouraging further learning and mentorship from other outstanding women. Sharing knowledge and encouragement is key for our female entrepreneurs. We feature Artist Sara Drescher who is profoundly cerebral in how she ignites conversation among women of all ages by her truthful iconoclasm of ordinary items which shape a perspective around how a woman is raised in various eras, igniting conversations about how women process generational gender types and the negative self-talk conditioned into them.
Designing "Ladies" Jacyln Felts and Kelli Cunningham of Paloma Cabinetry share their passion and inside tips and tricks to revamp both older and newer homes with custom organizational designs. So often our homes are well built, but storage and lifestyle remain overlooked. The ladies at Paloma Cabinetry are committed to enhancing your home and living spaces for all stages of your life.
Welcome to May, please applaud and admire the women you know this month, and compliment them for all they offer and how you learn and grow from her contributions. Ask how you can help and praise the women in our community who inspire you.
We are all on this journey together, and it’s refreshing to know so many brave female entrepreneurs in the Texas Hill Country.

BLAZING BOURBON TRAIL
Visitors to Kentucky often participate in a popular experience called the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, a highly touted series of distillery stops within the state’s multi-generational family bourbon production operations. Bourbon is so deeply rooted

Nancy Garrison brings first premium bourbon to Texas

Nancy recalls with a laugh,
“We did bribe them with a little Texas barbecue.”
in Kentucky’s cultural history that many partakers of the uniquely American whiskey misconceive that bourbon is only made in Kentucky. But Nancy Garrison of Garrison Brothers Distillery in Hye, Texas knew otherwise, and she blazed a trail as a visionary woman to make premium bourbon a Texas thing.
Ask Nancy about her journey in the bourbon distilling business and, right off the bat, she will begin talking about her family and how Garrison Brothers is a family business. And so, she is keeping tradition alive as she mentioned many of the foundational distilleries in Kentucky are also family businesses to this day.
“That’s a footprint on a path that opens an incredible number of doors,” Nancy conveyed. “The opportunities we had to meet with individuals in Kentucky are all family-based businesses, and they’ve got a couple hundred years on us.”
When building the frame for what would soon become Texas’ first premium bourbon distilled in Texas, Nancy and her husband Dan spent considerable time meeting with Kentucky’s top distillers to learn their craft, business models, challenges and to form friendships.
“Personally, we truly got to look behind the curtain, get recipes on napkins, see how they were really using their equipment and distilling,” Nancy shared.
In 2010 Garrison Brothers bottled their first premium bourbon from their distillery in Texas. Since then, the family business has organically grown and thrived into as much of a culture as a workplace.
“We wanted to be sure that we were always maintaining that highest level of quality and standards to not diminish anything our ancestors had done prior to us,” Nancy shared. “We’re in the great state of Texas, so we’re big, we’re bold and we have a little swagger, and we want to do it big.”

FAMILY ORIGINS
Nancy Garrison is a fifth generation TexanCentral Texan for that matter. Her family was friends with the Johnsons, yes, the family of the former president of the United States. She described the area around Stonewall and Hye, and the family ranch that became Garrison Brothers Distillery, as “sleepy” during her youth.
“And so, when we thought about building a distillery, we naturally gravitated to this part of the state,” Nancy recalled. “We wanted to be part of the community.”
Nancy and Dan knew that bourbon was an aging spirit and needed time to mature to taste. Compared to Kentucky, Texas has 20-degree temperature swings in a single day creating a unique and challenging environment in which to age whiskey. The Garrisons spent a lot of time learning from Kentucky distillers. She described the kindness of those owners who were supportive and helpful, but who also thought the Garrisons were a bit off-their-rocker.
“Everybody thought we were crazy because we didn’t know what we were doing, and we didn’t know how to make bourbon, and we didn’t know how to run a still, and we didn’t know how long it was going to take, and we didn’t know how it was going to taste,” Nancy shared.
Nowadays, there are thousands of bourbon distillers outside of Kentucky, but at the time, Nancy described bourbon as a “sleepy spirit,” only popular among certain people. The Garrisons were the first to make bourbon outside of Kentucky. It was made on curiosity, pure ambition, friendships with master bourbon distillers, and as Nancy recalls with a laugh, “We did bribe them with a little Texas barbecue.”
A NEW STORY
Not only did Nancy and Dan set out to revolutionize the bourbon tradition, but they also set their sights on distilling a premium top shelf bourbon. Nancy expressed the value of a clear mission statement for a business. “We truly set out to make the best tasting, highest quality bourbon in the world, and we were not going to cut a corner to do it.”

For Nancy, this meant the best ingredients in the mash and grains, all Texas grown grains and the best wooden barrels to establish the highest flavor profile.
“We were going to do one thing and do it exceptionally well,” Nancy shared.
Garrison Brothers Distillery bottled and sold its first bourbon in 2010. Shortly after, they distilled a cask strength Cowboy Bourbon. “That’s kind of what put us on the map,” Nancy shared. “That kind of opened up the (idea that) something is going on in Texas. The terroir is really impactful.”
FRONTIER WOMAN
Nancy Garrison has seen the industry change through the years. Initially, bourbon was the “sleepy” whiskey in a very male dominated industry. Since then, she has seen many women embark on the distilling journey, many through Garrison Brothers as part of its team. “Very early on, we started hiring women at Garrison Brothers.” Nancy recalled. “I think some 60% of our employees are women, from leadership roles all the way down to our incredible people who do tours and tastings.”
Nancy shared that women’s palettes are very refined. She has found that women specifically understand and embrace the Garrison Brothers story and then experience the nose and the flavor profile in a deeper way.
She has also seen bourbon’s usage evolve in a way more inviting to women drinkers. “It is not a singular spirit anymore,” Nancy shared. “When we started, each brand had one or two at most. There was not a lot of pushing the envelope.”
But at Garrison Brothers, women were directly involved in the process of creating different flavors such as the Laguna Madre with its dark chocolate and spicy profile. Nancy was also hands-on with the distilling of the Lady Bird bourbon, a bottle capturing the flavors of wildflower and honeybees in homage to the former first lady who famously decorated many of Texas’ highways with native flowers.

“We’re in the great state of Texas, so we’re big, we’re bold and we have a little swagger, and we want to do it big.”
- Nancy Garrison
While acknowledging the strength of the women on the Garrison Brothers team, Nancy gives endearing credit to her husband Dan in developing the dream and the brand. “He’s a big idea guy who came out of the marketing and advertising world,” Nancy shared. “And so, his creative spirit is unparalleled.”
Through more than 20 years, Nancy has worked with her husband Dan and their valuable employees to build a culture around Garrison Brothers bourbon that is of top international quality.
“As I talk to other women or other entrepreneurs, I know that I present myself as
passionate because it’s coming from a real place,” Nancy shared. “Everything we do we do with purpose, and we do it from a place of commitment to the highest standards in our industry and for our spirit.”
Garrison Brothers Distillery’s tasting room and property is located at 1827 Hye-Albert Rd. in Hye, Texas. Guests can tour the distillery and reserve a tasting time by calling 512-381-3155.

WHO LEAD THE LADIES
Fredericksburg's WIN - Women's Innovation Network
ARTICLE BY AMY TUCKER
What happens when a room fills with women who are not competing, but collaborating? That is the quiet force behind WIN — Women’s Innovation Network.
Founded in September 2021, WIN was created with a clear belief: in a world defined by rapid change the power rests with those who act with independence, persistence and self-motivation. Its mission is to provide a networking community for women in business to embrace the future and realize change through sharing knowledge, ideas, skills and passion in support of professional and personal development. WIN welcomes entrepreneurs, executives, nonprofit leaders, creatives and women at every stage of business.
As WIN enters its next chapter, Autumn Riggan serves as the new proposed executive director. A financial advisor with Raymond James and former WIN treasurer, she has built her career around guiding women through major life transitions and equipping them to make confident decisions.
In spearheading the leadership team, Autumn ensures that “we are following out the WIN mission, to make sure that we’re being inclusive for women in the community, to build stronger together,” she explained.
The benefits of WIN are both tangible and lasting. Strong female leadership strengthens local businesses, fuels philanthropy and enriches civic life. As Riggan put it, “When we all pull together, we are unstoppable.”
“You never know who you're going to meet,” Riggan shared. “You never know how they might feed your business. You never know how they might feed your soul. You may meet someone that becomes your best friend.”
The invitation stands open, so what are you waiting for?

CEN TERING WOMEN THROUGH OBJECTS, ABSENCE AND CARE
ARTICLE BY AMY TUCKER
DRESCHER SARA
Some inheritances are not passed down as objects, but as language. They move across generations in familiar forms—phrases repeated at kitchen tables, in classrooms, in workplaces. Instructions disguised as observations. Judgments softened into habit, into expectation. Over time, they shape not only how women are seen, but how they learn to see themselves.
Sara Drescher’s work gathers these inheritances and holds them still.
Through porcelain vessels and childhood figurines, she renders the language of expectation with a clarity that is both intimate and unsettling. The objects are recognizable. The phrases, even more so.
Only when placed together does their cumulative weight begin to register.
Talks too much.
Bossy.
Difficult.
Breadwinner.
Not asking for it.
Each phrase sits on a pristine casserole dish or the flank of a toy horse. The objects are familiar. The language is not new. But together they create a charged stillness that feels both intimate and unavoidably public.
THE OBJECT AS WITNESS
Drescher’s series began in graduate school, when she set out to build a new body of work rooted in what she knew. Rather than turn to the female figure, she chose still life.
In art, still life is often dismissed as decorative or secondary. Yet historically it has held extraordinary symbolic power. Drescher cites the photographer Mat Collishaw and his Last Meal, Death Row, Texas series as an example of how food, meticulously presented, can carry the full weight of mortality and state violence.
Drescher’s vessels operate in that lineage. They are hyper-real, catalog-clean, isolated against white backgrounds like product shots awaiting purchase. There is no kitchen, no church basement, no grandmother’s cabinet. The absence of context universalizes them. They can live in your memory.
The casserole dish she paints, recognizable to generations, appeared in her grandmother’s home, her mother’s kitchen, and potlucks across America. It is at once both domestic tool and cultural artifact. It is what you bring when someone has lost a loved one. It is what arrives when a baby is born. It carries nourishment. It carries grief.
It also carries expectation.
CONTINUED >
FROM GIRLHOOD TO LATE LIFE
If the casserole dish embodies womanhood in its socially sanctioned form - nurturer, provider, emotional laborer - then the My Little Pony figurines point to its earliest conditioning.
These mass-produced toys, highly commercialized and brightly coded as “for girls,” become platforms for phrases that echo across a lifetime. A pony might bear a message that seems playful at first glance. But the humor lands differently when read through the lens of experience.
As girls, women are told, “Be agreeable. Don’t rock the boat. Make peace. Don’t complain. Speak up—but not too much.” Later, the same directives reappear in boardrooms, classrooms, marriages and media narratives.
Drescher’s pairing “Too Much” with “Not Enough” collapses youth and maturity into a single frame. The pendulum swing is relentless. Women are objectified when young, rendered invisible when older. The same society that scrutinizes their bodies eventually dismisses their voices.
The older women who approach Drescher at exhibitions often surprise her. Rather than push back, they grow emotional. They see their histories reflected back to them, sometimes for the first time in public form. It is not sweet nostalgia. It is what she calls a frustrating nostalgia: the recognition that battles persist, often thought to be settled decades ago.
It has been only half a century since women in the United States could open a bank account or obtain a credit card without male permission. That timeline is not abstract; it is living memory. And yet the cultural reflex to diminish, commodify or silence women remains startlingly intact.
HUMOR AS A WELCOME MAT
Drescher describes her work as “gently subversive.” The dishes are not cracked. The toys are not mutilated. The surfaces gleam. The craftsmanship is impeccable.
Humor operates as invitation, a welcome mat to reflection and understanding. Sometimes viewers laugh, though she notes it is rarely “ha ha” funny. The humor softens the blow. It may also be a survival strategy, a social training in gentleness that women absorb for their own safety. By sugar-coating the pill, she makes the work approachable.

But beneath the pristine glaze lies something volatile. As one painting suggests with caution tape and wrapped tension, anything compressed long enough will eventually explode.
These 2-D vessels are metaphors for containment. They hold not food but emotional weight, stories of careers abandoned for lack of structural support, of being the breadwinner yet paid less, stories carried by women for generations. They are containers for what women are told or are forced to swallow.
COMMODITY AND SOVEREIGNTY
Rendered like product photography, the objects subtly critique commodification. Women, too, are marketed, packaged, consumed. The clean white background becomes both gallery wall and retail display. Drescher’s realism heightens the surreal effect. The result is connection.
Women tell her they feel seen. Survivors share stories. A Mormon woman once whispered gratitude, saying she felt recognized for the first time. An older man, recalling the sound of a casserole lid clinking into place, spoke through tears about his mother enduring an abusive marriage.
The phrase she returns to most often is simple: you are not alone.
AN UNFINISHED SERIES
Drescher once wondered if the series had said what it needed to say. Yet each exhibition proves otherwise. In a cultural moment when speech feels policed, the act of painting a word on a casserole dish becomes quietly radical.
In Drescher’s hands, her still-life declaration is neither shouted nor whispered. It is placed gently on a familiar object and set before us. The lid is heavy. The surface is clean. The message is unmistakable.
Fortunately, we are in a time when conversations about family roles continue, perhaps more than prior generations, yet these vessels remain relevant. The phrases still sting.
And so the work continues, not as a relic of a particular era, but as an ongoing conversation about sovereignty, dignity, care and the fundamental right to finish a sentence.
Drescher is “still speaking”.

Breaking Down “Custom” in Cabinetry
Paloma Cabinets keeps the homeowner in mind
When people hear the phrase custom cabinetry, they might assume it simply means cabinets designed for a particular house. That definition only tells part of the story. For the women behind this local custom cabinetry company, “custom” begins long before a cabinet door is installed and continues through the final build and beyond.
Both owners, Jaclyn Felts and Kelli Cunningham, come from homebuilding backgrounds. Their families are builders, and over time they found themselves regularly visiting job sites and helping with projects, and cabinetry became their focus.
“Cabinetry is in almost every room of the house,” they explained. “It’s not just kitchens and bathrooms. There are mudrooms, drop stations, closets, wine rooms, built-ins around fireplaces, even hidden rooms.”
Today their company takes on custom cabinetry projects from inception to completion, even including finish details such as lighting. The goal is simple: to help clients design cabinets that work for the way they live with a focus on functionality, longevity and aesthetic appeal.
BUILT ON-SITE
Many assume cabinets are designed for the house but constructed somewhere else and then delivered. For Paloma Cabinets, the process is different. “The materials arrive at the job site (where) our lead carpenter measures,
ARTICLE BY CAROLINE HEIBERG
cuts and builds everything there,” they said. This approach allows them to build to the project. Plans change. Measurements shift. A wall may be slightly off, or a room might be resized during the building. Because the cabinets are built on-site, adjustments can happen in real time, rather than forcing a pre-made cabinet to fit.
DESIGN DETAILS
When it comes to materials, white oak is currently one of the most requested options for stain grade. “Everyone loves white oak,” Felts and Cunningham said. “But it comes with a higher price.” Part of their job is helping clients achieve the look they want within their budget. If a homeowner plans to paint cabinets, they would suggest a paint grade birch. Other popular materials include walnut and knotty alder, depending on whether a client prefers a cleaner modern look or something more rustic.

Design details are constantly evolving. Cabinet fronts can include rattan panels, glass inserts, metal accents or decorative cutouts. Built-ins are increasingly designed to resemble high-quality furniture pieces, such as bathroom vanities with legs or cabinetry flanking a fireplace that looks like a freestanding cabinet. In mudrooms, locker-style storage has become sought after. Pull-out utensil drawers, hidden spice racks, shelves designed for bulky appliances and built-in storage for mudrooms are just a few of the features clients often request.
FUNCTION MEETS DESIGN
Felts and Cunningham work closely with clients to help them think through practical details that affect daily life. They often talk through storage needs room by room, offering
suggestions based on what they have seen in other homes. “We try to balance functionality with what someone wants visually,” they explained. “A home should look the way you want it to, but it should also work well for the way you live.”
That balance between appearance and usability is ultimately how they answer the original question. Custom cabinetry is not simply about style or fitting into a space perfectly. It is about building storage, organization and design around the way a household actually functions. And sometimes the difference between custom and prefab cabinets comes down to something simple: the ability to build exactly what the space, and the people living in it, needs to thrive.

BECKY HILLYARD
From Side Hustle to Style Empire
The power of taste, trust, and the courage to “just start.”
She didn’t have a business plan, a media budget, or even a name anyone could pronounce. What Becky Hillyard had was taste, a young family, and the instinct to just start. Today, her lifestyle brand Cella Jane commands an audience the size of Vogue’s, she’s nine collections strong with Splendid, and she’s built it all while raising three kids — refusing to sacrifice one for the other. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Becky shares what it really takes to build a brand, a career, and a life you love. Read the highlights below, then scan the QR code for the full conversation.
Q: WHEN DID YOU KNOW CELLA JANE WAS MORE THAN A HOBBY?
A: Two moments. Women started emailing me saying they bought something I recommended and felt amazing — asking me to help them find a dress for a wedding. That felt incredible. Then I looked at my affiliate numbers for one month and realized I could cover our mortgage. I thought, I can actually do this. I never set out to build a business. I started it because I genuinely loved it.
Becky in Splendid x @CellaJaneBlog Spring 2026 Collection
Q: WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST RISK YOU EVER TOOK WITH THE BRAND?
A: Designing my own collection. It’s easy to point at items on a website and say I love these. But to create something from scratch, put your name on it, and wait to see if people connect with it — that’s terrifying. I had an incredible partner in Splendid, and women loved the pieces. It was the biggest risk and the biggest accomplishment.
Q: HOW HAS INFLUENCER MARKETING CHANGED SINCE YOU STARTED?
A: When I started, brands didn’t know whether to take it seriously. Now it’s a legitimate line item in their marketing budgets — sometimes bigger than TV. Because what we’ve built is trust. People trust a real recommendation from someone they follow far more than a commercial. There’s no question about it now.
Q: YOU’RE A MOM OF THREE RUNNING A FULL BRAND. WHAT DOES YOUR DAY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
A: I try to get up at five and not hit snooze — that first hour before the house wakes up is the most productive, most peaceful hour of my day. Then it’s all hands on deck with the kids and school drop-off. After that I work — planning content, connecting with my team, editing. After pickup, the day shifts completely and it’s all about them. I’ve learned to protect both halves fiercely, because both matter.
Q: WHAT WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN BUT KEEPS WAITING?
A: Don’t wait. Don’t wait for the perfect camera, the right strategy, or enough followers. We find every excuse to stay comfortable. Just start, be consistent, and be authentically yourself. The right people will find you — and they’ll stay.
This conversation is just the beginning. Becky goes deeper on the risks that almost stopped her, the design process behind her latest Splendid collection, and what she’d tell her 2012 self today. Scan the QR code for the full, exclusive City Lifestyle interview on the Share the Lifestyle Podcast.
