About Citrus Daisy - Handmade Painted Signs in Norwell MA
We never could have imagined that a simple “girl” sign announcing our daughter’s birth in 2009 would turn into a thriving business for over a decade.
Our story
Jenny took a winding route after graduating from Villanova University with an accounting degree, and worked in finance, commercial real estate, internet consulting, and merchandising (as she continued to look for something to do when she grew up). Inspired by her daughter, she was halfway through graduate school in Special Ed before going all in to build Citrus Daisy. Jenny is almost equal right brain/left brain and approaches her art with an analytical eye. She’s also always loved playing with color. Jenny has been fortunate to have a team of Moms and high school/college students from the community work alongside of her; making the signs, helping customers, and bringing joy to the barn.
Jenny is married to Kevin, who has been referred to as “Mr. Daisy” over the years (and who’s a wonderful fine artist himself). Together they’re raising their son, Petey, and their daughter, Annie, who also happens to be blind.
The name Citrus Daisy came from two things that bring Jenny joy: citrus colors and daisies. The name represents the goal for her company: spreading happiness through the simplicity of a word and making people smile. Her signs evoke emotion and uplift and make us happy.
Over the years, customers have become friends and a part of our Citrus Daisy family. There is just something about the historic walls of our old barn that provides the space to share about our lives and create a community. Oh, and shop too! We often invite other artists and makers into the barn to sell their creations.
