GoosiePie Monograms
While spending six years as a stay-at-home mom, I began embellishing clothes and making items for my three daughters. I realized how passionate I was towards my creativity. With the nudge and support of my loving husband to move forward with a dream, I started GoosiePie Monograms. I was born and raised in Winston-Salem. The youngest of 4 children and a “daddy’s girl”, so who would be a better person to name my business after than my dad? His friends call him Goose, his grandchildren call him Goosie and occasionally my girls think it is cute to call him “Goosie Pie”! I strive to create a selection of unique personalized items with the highest quality. Please check the site above from time to time for new products and services.
