Hey y’all!

I’m Meggan - the face, fingers, and head-full-of-rambling-thoughts that makes up this little lifestyle blog known as Firefly and Finch.

F+F dives into:


A few F+F FAQs:

Q: How did Firefly and Finch begin?

  • A: While I’m no longer running it, ‘Firefly and Finch’ was originally the name of an online antique & vintage resale shop that I ran in the early 2000s - where I bought/sold/traded antiques and vintage clothing around the world.

Q: Where did the name Firefly and Finch come from?

  • A: Fireflies have always been my favorite insect (I find them magical even now) - and finches have always been among my favorite birds because they’re just cute. The name came into my brain back in the early 2000s when whipping up my vintage shop, and stuck.
    When it was time to choose a name for this blog/site, F+F started whispering back into my ear, and stuck once again.

More about me (Megg):

  • Craft + DIY enthusiast. (Never met an art project I didn’t like!)

    • Known to spray paint things gold

    • Self-professed glue gun aficionado

  • Interior design lover
    (Whether timeless, fantastic, funky, minimalist, or maximalist - I’m here for it all)

  • Fashion magpie
    (Again!! Whether timeless, fantastic, funky, minimalist, or maximalist - I’m here for it all. And no, my closet is not big enough)

  • My first word was “fancy”. The relevance of this is apparent to me as a near my 40s and dream about ‘the ultimate walk-in closet’. (I like clothes, y’all)

  • When I pass through a toll I like to pay for the person behind me. It might be weirdly anonymous, but it brightens my day and I only hope it brightens theirs a little, too.

  • Live music lover

  • Happiest outside (Nature lover + tree hugger)

  • I spent 10+ years operating my own small business where I made chandeliers that looked like birdcages. I sent out my artwork all over the world, to display in homes, nurseries, weddings, and most notably for a garden-themed Alice + Olivia New York Fashion Week runway show. (I wanted to trade artwork for apparel but alas.)

Although it’s just me on this blog I often speak in the plural because the green-eyed Catty (pictured below) weighs in - and quite vocally, too - about whatever topic we’re on. She helps as office manager, assistant, CFO, etc. etc. etc.

^^If you work from home and share space with fur babies (or regular human babies) you probably know how that whole “talking to yourself” thing goes.

Firefly and Finch’s roots:

  • Sarasota, Florida > Richmond, Virginia > Bend, Oregon

If anyone needs me I’ll just be over here crafting and gabbing and gabbing and crafting - about things that are important - and things that are not important. (We gotta strike that balance, ya know?)

Thank you for coming to my TED-talk and thanks for sharing some time with Firefly and Finch.
