Bonjour & Welcome, Friends!

Thank you for visiting my French-inspired world of feminine charm and thoughtful gifting. I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Regina, and I’m the founder and creative heart behind Chic Peony Boutique, LLC — a Connecticut-based online boutique featuring handmade and carefully curated gifts inspired by Parisian charm. By day, I am a full-time dental hygienist; by heart, I am a seamstress, creator, curator, and lifelong lover of beautiful details.

My creative story began in childhood, in Minnesota, where my grandmother patiently taught me how to sew. Some of my favorite memories are of us browsing fabric stores together, flipping through pattern books and dreaming up the next creation she would lovingly make. My father shared his artistic side as well, teaching me beadwork on a loom — a craft I still treasure.

Sewing continued to weave its way through my life. In high school, I worked in a tailor shop, where I discovered my love for garment construction and design. Years later, when planning my own wedding, I chose to sew my bridesmaids’ dresses to bring a personal vision to life. When our two daughters arrived, I was thrilled to pass those same sewing skills on to them, helping them create their first bags while still in elementary school — fostering the love of this very special craft.

My husband and I have now shared over twenty-nine wonderful years together, and raising our daughters has been our absolute greatest joy. Like many parents, our lives have happily revolved around them.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I rediscovered my passion for sewing while making masks for our local hospital. What began as a small act of service blossomed into something much bigger — the realization of a little girl’s creative dream.

Today, Chic Peony Boutique is a reflection of everything I love: handmade craftsmanship, Parisian femininity, meaningful gifting, and community support. Alongside my own creations, I proudly curate unique, elegant, and whimsical treasures that beautifully reflect the Chic Peony aesthetic and the feminine charm at the heart of my brand.

My travels to Paris, continue to inspire the boutique. Each trip allows me to thoughtfully source unique European treasures, vintage finds, and feminine accessories that I bring home to share with you — pieces that carry a bit of Parisian magic and story with them.

Whether you’re searching for the perfect gift or a special treat for yourself, my hope is that every piece you receive feels personal, joyful, and made or chosen with love.

Warmest wishes,

Regina xo
