I'm Amy Wheeler, born and raised in our "small town with a big heart", St.Pauls NC! My husband Stephen and I are actually high school sweethearts who met at St.Pauls High. Stephen and our little one Easton are my everything. Recently, I've opened my very own boutique storefront in town. Lavish Rose Boutique can now be your first stop to grab a new outfit or browse our book selection while supporting our small business community. You'll always find me shopping, whether that looks like a new outfit or an armful of books. Or spending time at the beach with my family. I'm so excited to be a part of St.Pauls Possible! I already know we are going to do great things together for the community and local businesses. Our goal is to give back where we can and help the town grow in so many ways.
