Introducing Avec Paulette

Needlepoint tells a story — of where it’s been, who touched it, and where it might go next. Too often, those stories end up tucked away in closets or forgotten in drawers. Avec Paulette was created to change that.

Here, canvases are given new life. Treasures are shared, not wasted. What once felt overlooked can once again spark joy in the hands of a new stitcher. We believe beauty has purpose, and what we pass on matters.

The name Avec Paulette is both personal and universal. Inspired by Paulette — whose eye for beauty, care for what exists, and effortless sense of style still guide us — this space celebrates living with intention. It’s about curating thoughtfully, creating joyfully, and making sustainability feel natural.

Through this blog, Cooking Up Care, we’ll share more than just needlepoint. We’ll explore the art of consignment, spotlight the stitchers and shops that inspire us, and reflect on how giving back keeps beauty in motion.

This is only the beginning — and we’re so glad you’re here.
