Sam's Favorite Thing: Avocado Vase
Sam has been with the Leon & Lulu team since she was a wee teenager. Throughout the years she has taken on many new roles. She currently heads accounting and has been learning the ropes about purchasing for the store. Sam loves a good project, craft, or thrift mission. When we are looking for something off kilter, for the cheapest option, or the best deal Sam is the go to gal. Speaking of cheap, what better way to afford the rising cost of avocados than to re-use those pits and grow your own tree!
Sam loves the Avocado vase because, "I love to attempt a green thumb project. This gives you the opportunity to do so with items that are normally discarded."
Sam's favorite memories from working at Leon & Lulu include craft projects (Mouse dollhouse making) with Jess and her disappointing adventure up North in our Sprinter Van. When she took the Sprinter to pick up a thrifted scoreboard the tail lights were out, and she hadn't noticed. She got an hour away and had to pull over to wait for someone to pick her up. She did eventually continue the voyage the following day and successfully picked up the scoreboard.
