If there's one thing I've learned from publishing Gallatin City Lifestyle, it's that this community knows how to honor its roots while embracing what's next. That's style. It's not just about what we wear — it's about how we live. It's preserving the character of our historic downtown while welcoming new businesses. It's gathering around the table with family, cheering on our local teams, supporting small businesses and investing in a community we're proud to call home. Style is personal. It's found in the homes we create, the way we serve others, the businesses we build and the legacy we're leaving behind. As the seasons begin to change and fall arrives, there's something refreshing about taking inventory — not just of our closets, but of the things that truly define us. Maybe it's finally tackling that home project you've been dreaming about. Maybe it's refreshing your wardrobe, trying a new local restaurant or simply making more intentional time for the people who matter most. Whatever this season looks like for you, I hope these pages inspire you to live with confidence, authenticity and purpose. In this month's Style Issue, we're celebrating the people, places and businesses that make Gallatin such a vibrant place to live. From fashion and design to local entrepreneurs and creative minds, you'll discover stories that remind us style isn't about perfection — it's about embracing who you are and sharing your unique gifts with the community around you. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes each month and for supporting the local businesses that invest so much in this city. They are the heartbeat of Gallatin, and because of readers like you, we're honored to continue telling their stories. Here's to a beautiful fall season, fresh inspiration and living a life that's always in style. See you around town!

Pauline Heft
GOD'S BEAUTIFUL DESIGN IN CREATION IS WHAT MOTIVATES ME IN LIFE AND IN CREATING.
Pauline Heft, owner and designer of The Posy Pantry, believes in the slow-growing power of flowers, art and craftsmanship in everyday life. Her “whimsical with a vintage flair” style shines through her intentional business. From floral arrangements to curated collections of antiques and custom artwork, Heft lives out her mission to gather and design the natural beauties of the earth for all to enjoy in their homes, workplaces or special occasions. The Posy Pantry was founded in 2020 after a friend told Heft the story of starting her sewing business from her kitchen table. It was the encouragement Heft needed to start where she was. During the COVID19 pandemic, she began delivering bouquets to people working from home to offer joy and light in a time of isolation. Heft says, “Few things in life provide the pure, innocent joy that can be experienced through a bunch of flowers that grew up from the smallest seed, braved storms and pestering bugs, yet still stand beautiful. They are an inspiration for life and its struggles.” CONTINUED >

IN AN AGE OF AI, IT IS MY HEART'S DESIRE TO CREATE ALL THINGS HANDMADE TO BE CHERISHED BY INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR SPECIAL CORNER OF THE WORLD.
Heft’s love of artistry was apparent long before the founding of The Posy Pantry in 2020. Formative experiences have clarified her sense of style over time. “I always felt very scattered in my creative aspirations until I became a mother. It grounded me in a way that showed me what I truly loved doing and gave me the confidence to run with what I love making and not caring whether it was trending or mainstream. From youth, I have loved flowers and creating hand-drawn art pieces. In college, I worked at an antique mall, which fostered my love for old pieces of quality and charm. When I married my beloved husband, he showed me a love and comfort unmatched, and that loving environment truly nurtured the creative side in me to bloom to its fullest.” In 2021, Heft moved to a 150-year-old farmhouse nestled on 8.5 acres in Bethpage, Tennessee. That is when The Posy Pantry evolved into what it is today. At its core, The Posy Pantry is a testament to Heft’s faith. She says, “God’s beautiful design in creation is what motivates me in life and in creating. He is the ultimate artist who found

purpose in all things that start small, grow up into lovely works of art and then eventually fade away. The purpose and beauty I find in the cycle in a flower’s life is very encouraging in my own, knowing that who I am and what I make matter in the eyes of my Creator.” That is why Heft attests to the importance of incorporating intentional art into homes or events. It reminds people of the most important lessons — that good things often start small and form slowly. She says, “In an age of AI, it is my heart’s desire to create all things handmade to be cherished by individuals in their special corner of the world.” The Posy Pantry provides flower bars for events and smallgroup workshops. Locals can find Heft’s fresh bouquets at Ditch Lily in Westmoreland. She creates custom artwork available for local pickup or shipping, and starting in 2027, Heft will only participate in two markets per year.

Hannah Custom Homes Builds Dreams from the Ground Up
Hannah Custom Homes helps homeowners craft their dream. The company was founded by Dusty Hannah, Misty (Hannah) Pyle and Jeff Pyle in 2005. With over two decades of experience in craftsmanship, Hannah Custom Homes offers tried-and-true expertise on custom builds that outlast trends.
A STRONG FOUNDATION
Start with the right team. Misty, co-owner and CFO of Hannah Custom Homes, says, “We firmly believe having the contractor on board first is the most time-efficient and cost-efficient approach to custom home design. There is no benefit to bringing on any parties late in the process; it will always result in delays, rework and a misalignment of budget versus design.” By bringing together a powerhouse team of architects and designers, thorough processes and building science, Hannah Custom Homes creates a strong foundation for every build.
STYLE THAT LASTS
In an age of Pinterest boards and trending designs, it can be difficult to distinguish between a passing fad and a lasting style choice. Hannah Custom Homes has a two-step selection process that can help. CONTINUED >
S EP TEMB ER 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / GA L L AT I N

Kacie Carrico, COO, says, “We make most major selections during the pre-construction phase, but when the time comes to actually place an order, we circle back to confirm those same selections. These 2 approvals are often many months apart and can easily expose if a client got caught up in a trend.” Beyond the two-step approval process, the team engages in thoughtful conversations with clients about what they want in a home. These conversations lead to timeless choices that reflect the life and style of each individual homeowner.
BUILT AROUND YOU
Part of designing a forever home is the intentionality in building around practical needs and planning for long-term functionality. Carrico says, “For daily routines and hobbies, it’s really about ensuring everything has a place, and a place to charge! Although we want the home to be beautiful, form follows function is a tried-and-true design adage for a reason.” Square footage is often dedicated to mud rooms with open and closed storage, laundry/utility rooms, drop zones and more. For Hannah Custom Homes, it all starts with knowing how a family will live in and use their home so the custom build can serve them wherever they are and grow with them over time. “We are blessed that most of our clients trust us with their ‘forever home’ so we can sink into the long-term functions and changing needs,” says Carrico.
IN THE DETAILS
Details, whether simple or elaborate, can elevate practical needs into what feels like a luxury. From toe-kick bathroom vanity lights to Christmas closets that store fully-decorated trees, Carrico says, “With practicality and design, it’s often the small touches that make the difference.” A detail-oriented build goes beyond what you can see. “Our dedication to building science, air and water management and optimal air quality are things the homeowner will never consider once they move in, but that’s the point. When done correctly, it goes unnoticed because there are no issues to notice,” says Carrico. The hands-on process with Hannah Custom Homes is a partnership on more than a house—it is an effort to create a space where families can be rooted and create memories for a lifetime. Carrico says, “We want our clients to feel the peace that comes from knowing they accomplished something truly extraordinary and now they get to live their life in it.” HannahCustomHomes.com | 615.822.8042 | info@hannahcustomhomes.com

TN Medicare Concierge Takes the Stress Out of Healthcare
GOLDEN YEARS MADE SIMPLE
22
Elizabeth Hobdy Jones and husband Brad Jones serve the local community with their insurance expertise. In this Q&A, Elizabeth shares how they take the overwhelm out of navigating Medicare. You and your husband, Brad, founded TN Medicare Concierge. What inspired you to launch the one-stop shop for the local 65+ community? Brad and I have spent our entire lives in Gallatin, and serving this community has always been more than a career — it’s personal. After years of helping families protect what matters most through home, auto, life and business insurance, we realized there was a huge need for trusted, local guidance when people became eligible for Medicare. That’s why we founded TN Medicare Concierge. We wanted to offer a true concierge experience — one where education comes first, every recommendation is personalized and our clients know they’ll always have a local team to call long after enrollment is complete. Navigating Medicare can be overwhelming. How does your agency guide local seniors through it with personalized care? No two people are alike, so we don’t believe Medicare should be approached with a one-size-fits-all mindset. EXP E RT H E LP | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS
Our first conversation isn’t about selling a plan — it’s about getting to know the person sitting across from us. We learn about their doctors, prescriptions, travel habits, budget, health concerns and future goals before discussing any options. From there, we compare plans from multiple carriers and explain everything in plain language. We encourage questions and take as much time as needed because we believe understanding your coverage is just as important as choosing it. For someone completely new to this transition, what is a common misconception people have about “Original Medicare?” One of the biggest misconceptions is that Medicare covers everything once you turn 65. In reality, Original Medicare covers many important medical services, but it doesn’t cover everything. Many people are surprised
to learn that routine dental care, vision exams, hearing aids and many prescription drug costs are not automatically included. Others don’t realize there are deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket expenses that can add up quickly without additional coverage. Our job is to educate — not scare people. Once someone understands where those gaps exist, we can help them find a plan that protects both their health and their retirement budget. With constant shifts in healthcare policies and drug coverage, how does TN Medicare Concierge serve as a long-term liaison for clients, ensuring their plans continue to serve them well? Every year during Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period, we proactively review our clients’ coverage to make sure it still fits their needs. Prescription formularies change, provider networks evolve and new plans become available each year. CONTINUED >

Instead of expecting our clients to keep up with all of those changes themselves, we do that work for them. Beyond finding the right policy, what does it mean to your agency to build long-term relationships with your clients here in the Gallatin community?

EXP E RT H E LP | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS
Many of our clients become friends. We run into them at church, the grocery store, local restaurants and community events. Their children become our clients, and before long we’re helping multiple generations of the same family. That level of trust is something we never take for granted. Can you share a moment or a piece of feedback from a local neighbor that reminds you why you take this responsibility so personally? One of the greatest compliments we receive is when someone tells us, “I finally understand my Medicare.” Is there anything else you’d like readers to know? If you’re approaching Medicare eligibility — or even if you’ve been on Medicare for years — you don’t have to navigate it alone. At TN Medicare Concierge, our mission is simple: to educate, advocate and serve our community with honesty, integrity and compassion. TNMedicareConcierge.com | 615.527.4633

WHEN Dreams Take FLIGHT The Vintage Sparrow Creates Wearable Reminders of Hope ARTICLE BY MADISON AICHELE PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY THE VINTAGE SPARROW
Annie Moss did not start out trying to create a business. She began making jewelry with Scripture and encouraging messages at her kitchen table in 2014 to raise money for a missions trip. When women in the community continued asking Moss where they could find her jewelry, she recognized the desire for products that were meaningful, encouraging and offered hope. The idea grew to meet the needs of those around her, eventually becoming The Vintage Sparrow. From a kitchen table to becoming a nationally recognized brand featured on QVC, Annie Moss retains the same heart for her customers. Moss says, “While the reach has grown, the mission has never changed — to encourage women and point them toward the hope found in Christ.” To Moss, wearing pieces of encouragement can center anyone during moments they need those reminders most. She says, “There’s something powerful about wearing a reminder of Scripture or an encouraging word throughout the day. Whether someone glances down at a bracelet during a difficult meeting or puts on a t-shirt before heading out the door, those small reminders can quietly point their hearts back to God’s promises. It’s an everyday way to carry truth with you wherever life takes you.” While The Vintage Sparrow has taken flight throughout the nation, Moss’s heart holds a special place for the community that built her. She says, “This community believed in The Vintage Sparrow long before anyone else did. From our very first

No matter how much we grow, it’s important to me that we continue investing in the women, families, and community that helped shape who we are.” For Moss, the growth has been nothing short of miraculous. She says, “It’s been a journey that only God could have written.” TheVintageSparrowJewelry.com @thevintagesparrow

APPLE CIDER
sangria A LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL TREAT
As the season transitions into fall, it still features the warm, sunny days of summer but nights start to drop into the crisp temperatures. That leaves us in the limbo of wanting cool, refreshing drinks part of the time but also craving the deeper, spice-infused flavors of autumn. This recipe for apple cider sangria is the perfect blending of the seasons, leaving you feeling both refreshed and warmed through the deep flavors and interesting hints of spice. It’s a great drink to add to any dinner party, cocktail gathering, back deck after-hours get-together, or birthday bash. Here’s what you need to make the perfect mid-season cocktail to enhance whatever event you have planned.
30
H AP PY H OU R | FO O D + BE VE RAGE
INGREDIENTS: • • • • • •
1 bottle, standard size, of pinot grigio 2 1/2 cups fresh apple cider 1 cup club soda 1/2 cup ginger brandy 3 Honeycrisp apples, chopped 3 pears, chopped
DIRECTIONS: Combine all ingredients together and stir. Refrigerate for an hour or so (or longer) before serving. The drink can be enjoyed immediately, if desired, but the longer you let the ingredients sit and mix, the deeper the flavors will be. Giving it time to develop will make the drink more captivating and interesting.
NOTE: Regular brandy can be used, but ginger brandy gives it an extra kick of flavor.
