Two Olives | Wild Roots
Two Olives is a passion project that rose from a moment of reflection. The kind that makes you stop, Reevaluate, and ask yourself: Is this really what I want my life to look like? The answer was no.
Through that journey of self-discovery, Two Olives was born.
Growing up in Vermont, nature has always been my grounding force. As a child, I spent afternoons on my grandparents’ farm, eating fruit straight from the fields, climbing apple trees and chasing fireflies. One of my earliest memories is helping my great-grandfather pick green beans.
Those experiences instilled in me a deep gratitude for nature and the connections it creates. They taught me to notice the small details, and find inspiration outdoors. I wanted to return to that — to create something that brings me joy and honors my values.
A simple mission: to put down roots, reconnect people with nature, and to grow something meaningful that gives back. Named after my true inspiration, my children, Olivia and Oliver (Liv & Oli). My ‘Two Olives’.
Two Olives is more than a brand — it’s a way of living with intention, carrying forward the legacies of those who inspire you, and sharing that story with the next generation. It’s both personal and purposeful and rooted in gratitude.
Our Roots of Inspiration
“The Farm”
"After school, I’d head straight to my grandparents’ farm in Vermont. My cousin and I played outside until dark — picking strawberries, climbing trees, making mazes in the cornfield, collecting eggs. It was a childhood of freedom and discovery, where every day brought something new. Those moments shaped my love for the outdoors and my desire for my children to grow up with the same sense of wonder and connection to nature."
“Betty Boop”
I called my grandmother Betty ‘Betty Boop.’ She had a gift for creating beautiful things — gardens, paintings, writing poetry, styling holiday tables and centerpieces, and finding the perfect gift for each of us, filled with meaning. She showed me that creativity can be an act of love, and her gardens inspired my lifelong love of flowers and plants.
“Amy-Jo”
My Aunt Amy — “Mamie” to me — taught me to make earrings as a kid and gave me my first jewelry kit for Christmas one year, planting the seed of a lifelong love for creating. She had a natural grace and a knack for styling and decorating spaces. Kind and encouraging, she was always the first to notice and appreciate the little details others might overlook. The beads in our collections are my way of honoring her and the creativity and gratitude she inspired in me.
Grandpa Lockerby
My great-grandfather, Grandpa Lockerby, had a soft spot for me. He always welcomed me with flowers from his garden, and one of my earliest memories is picking green beans by his side. His love for the land, and the way he made even simple moments feel special, left an imprint on me — teaching me that joy can be found in both nature and togetherness.
