Zig zagging Through Everywhere Astonishments! // Margaux
Interview with Baum Kuchen
I first met Margaux online many years ago, when Bk was still at its first brick-and-mortar location in Glassell Park. As the co-founder of Peg and Awl, she has transformed reclaimed materials into artifacts rich with history, beauty, and purpose for the past 15 years. Whether binding journals, crafting wooden treasures, or capturing fleeting thoughts in her journal with her art, Margaux moves through life with curiosity and intention, embracing its zigzags and inspiring us along the way. - Eunice
Bk: Outside of Peg and Awl, who is Margaux? Can you share a brief glimpse into your personal journey and the experiences that shaped who you are today?
Margaux: Oh goodness, this is a big question! Who am I? I am shaped and reshaped daily by the magic of everyday things that surround me. I scribble and make obsessively. I love ungardening and am at this very moment, seeing the results of my gardening in the form of thousands of snowdrops breaking through the earth of this recently cleared-from-invasives hillside! I am Mama to two boys — Søren and Silas, and one Pearl. I am wife and partner of Walter, with whom I co-own Peg and Awl, our business of 15 years!
I love, love, love getting lost…
