Firefly Home
I was born and raised in South Georgia. I don’t have a Southern accent, nor do I like sweet tea. I do use the word ‘y’all’, but in one syllable. At the age of 24, I opened Firefly with my dad. He was a lawyer (the Atticus type) by day, and the store’s antique buyer. I was in charge of buying everything else, as well as the day-to-day operations. At the time, I didn’t realize it was a clever ploy on my dad’s part to get his youngest daughter on this side of the world again. I was young, naive and confident. I had worked retail, all my life, starting at thirteen.
I was also a little strange, in that I would save my money and instead of buying beer like normal 19 year olds, I bought antiques. I always had something on “layaway.” Luckily, I had great support, strong female mentors and a little panache of my own. In January of 2013, I bought my Dad out, as he wanted to retire again, and I needed to “own” it.
He is playing some mean Bridge and I feel revitalized all over again. I still love finding treasures that are unique, fairly-traded, and handmade. I love meeting new folks and greeting old customers time and time again.
Firefly is a unique, eclectic treasure in what is quickly becoming a vast sea of homogeneous, big chain box stores. I hope that is reflected as I continue to add products to this site.
In my own life, I personally believe that “Less is More”, so again, products chosen might range from extremely utilitarian, to whimsical, to just beautiful. Firefly is about making your house a home and enhancing it with useful objects that exude character.
I also design weddings and interiors, and I am a freelance buyer for independent retailers. Lastly, I am the co-founder of Shotgun Supper Club, where we host the South’s finest Chefs and throw a dinner party in our neck of the woods. We just celebrated our 20th year in retail and had our best year to date, so I must be doing something right. My 20th year was focused on highlighting artists whom I carry in the store by hosting trunk shows, book signings, etc. As we look to turning twenty one, it will be all about celebrating, as I continue to host the artisans that make Firefly such a unique, independent store. When I am not working, I am traveling with my two teenage boys and darling husband and just soaking up my wonderful, crazy life.
Firefly Spirits
The Firefly Distillery is the birthplace of Firefly Spirits. It is where the founders, Jim Irvin and Scott Newitt, came up with the crazy idea to build a distillery in the ‘middle of nowhere,’ and make the world’s first Sweet Tea Vodka. That crazy idea is now a destination known for its genuine southern hospitality, fine quality spirits and innovation. The Firefly Distillery is located on Wadmalaw Island, just 30 minutes outside of Charleston, SC. At the distillery, you will meet the ‘Firefly family’ and you can sample an array of fine spirits and get a taste of their southern hospitality at its best.

Firefly Grille
Firefly Grille was opened in the Spring of 2001 by Curt Cole, a born and raised Nashvillian, experienced restauranteur, and family man. Firefly is Curt’s answer to Nashville’s need for a restaurant providing high quality, sophisticated cuisine, without the fuss of the traditional fine dining experience. (Imagine wearing jeans and a t-shirt while eating a high quality filet…Isn’t that the dream?)
So, Firefly was born—a funky, cozy, and casual neighborhood restaurant, providing an eclectic, worldly, seasonally-changing menu with a southern twist. Firefly Grille uses high quality ingredients to create unique dishes, sourcing locally whenever possible.
Located in the heart of Green Hills on Bandywood Drive, Firefly is about 300 yards away from the famous Bluebird Cafe, as well as a wide array of Nashville’s finest local favorites. For fifteen years, Firefly has remained a local secret, voted “Best Neighborhood Restaurant” by the Nashville Scene twice.
