About Me

Creativity runs in our family, and it all started with my mom. She’s been my biggest inspiration, showing me the magic of turning passion into something meaningful. Watching her craft her own designs and grow The Preppy Palm into a beloved local shop taught me the power of creativity, hard work, and staying true to your vision. Her journey has been a constant source of encouragement for me, fueling my own dreams and showing me that anything is possible with love and dedication.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth Bostard. My creative journey started with Studio5ifty6, where I turned my love for travel and photography into something tangible. Exploring the world showed me just how much beauty is out there, inspiring me to create art prints, canvases, and even fun stationery. Living in my small beach town, I tapped into my love for summer by designing bikini jewelry—something I was thrilled to see featured in local shops like The Preppy Palm and Izzi and Lu.

Now, I’m channeling all that passion and inspiration into The Local. This boutique is my dream come to life: a space that blends global treasures with the charm of our local community. I can’t wait to share curated collections that celebrate the beauty of the world, paired with thoughtful, unique finds close to home. It’s a little slice of who I am, and I’m so excited to share it with you!

Hi, I’m Hannah Bostard. From an early age, I’ve had a passion for creating and designing, whether it was crafting ceramics to making rugs, curating memorable events, or dreaming up new projects. My love for travel and exploring unique cafes around the world has been a constant source of inspiration, and it’s always fueled my vision to build something special in my own community.

Opening a coffee shop within a boutique felt like the perfect way to bring my passions together—a space where creativity, style, and connection can thrive. Beanz Coffee, located within The Local, is a reflection of my love for design, hospitality, and the joy of making people feel at home, all while offering something truly unique to our hometown.

Together, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a place that feels like a warm invitation—a blend of the global and the local, designed to inspire and delight. Welcome to The Local, where every detail tells a story, and every visit is a step into something special.
