we’re building the kind of place we've always wanted to find.

Until we grow roots, we're bringing pieces of that vision to life through seasonal pop-up coffee, floral design, bouquet bars, original stories, and thoughtfully crafted experiences across Tennessee. Every gathering brings us one step closer to opening our doors for good.

The best places have a way of becoming part of your life without asking for permission.

Where you stop in for one thing, and leave having stayed a little longer than you meant to. Where familiar faces become friends, small rituals become traditions, and ordinary afternoons quietly become the moments you remember years later.

That's the heart of Folklorista.

Right now, that looks like a coffee cart serving locally roasted coffee, house-made syrups, and edible flower treats. It looks like bouquet bars, floral design, seasonal blooms from local farms, original stories, and the communities that gather around them. One day it will all live under one roof, but the purpose has never changed: creating little moments of wonder in everyday life.

Hi, I’m Samantha

I've always been drawn to the things that make ordinary life feel a little more magical.

Old folklore. The changing seasons. The magic of flowers with meanings of their own. Gathering people around a table. Finding beauty in quiet rituals that often go unnoticed.

Over the years, those interests grew into something bigger than hobbies. They became the way I moved through the world, and eventually, the kind of place I couldn't stop imagining.

Folklorista is my way of bringing those pieces together here in my home of Tennessee. Not just as a business, but as an invitation to slow down, stay curious, connect with each other, and create a little more wonder in everyday life.
