Cardinal & Clover began as a restoration project—but for me, it was always more than a building.
I’m Christine Smith: a mom, a Meemaw, and a woman shaped by resilience, faith, and a deep belief in the power of community.
Alongside my lifetime friend and husband, Joe, I chose to restore a historic downtown space, believing that what already existed still had value.
That belief now lives in every corner of Cardinal & Clover.
Inside these walls are businesses that repurpose, reimagine, handcraft, and create permanent art—
each rooted in intention, care, and work meant to last. From resale and consignment to handcrafted goods and tattoo artistry,
this collaborative reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship over convenience and meaning over mass production.
I believe spaces matter. I believe people matter.
And I believe that when we build with heart, welcome others with honesty, and work with purpose, something lasting can grow.
My hope is that when you walk through these doors, you feel seen, welcomed, and inspired—
whether you come to shop, create, connect, or simply pause for a moment.
Thank you for being part of this story.
