Our Story
Creating and designing have always been Dawns passion. For years, she has enjoyed planning and decorating parties, bringing ideas to life in unique and beautiful ways. After earning her cosmetology license and spending time working in salons, she realized it wasn’t the right path for her. Then, in August 2025, everything changed. She booked a pop-up picnic on Hatteras Island, and from the moment she experienced it, she knew I had found her calling. That was the moment she decided to start her own pop-up picnic business—combining her love for creativity, planning, and memorable experiences into something truly special.
