Yazoo Toffee Company
Megan’s dad (aka her craftsman) played a huge role in the establishment of June Bug designs, which is named after her daughter, Lyla June. After cutting and playing with old scrap wood, he gave Megan a plaque, as they refer to them today. She painted what inspires any mom…her family! A lover of anything custom, these “family plaques” quickly caught on and she started customizing for other beautiful families.
“Every family has their own story to tell, this is my way of starting the conversation,” says Megan.
The line has expanded to an array of plaques, including unique kid art to a family’s special mantra or verse painted on reclaimed and repurposed wood. These plaques reside in homes from coast to coast.
