family fell for her fluffy creations. Four 
years after moving with her husband to 
DeFuniak when his career as a colonel in 
the Air Force came to a close, Hoffman is 
now enjoying life as a shop owner—a long-
held dream she’s brought to fruition with 
Vault46—and a pillow princess, though her 
beautiful jewelry pieces certainly command 
their own corner of the store. Whether 
she’s sewing the final details of a custom 
cushion or hammering out a necklace, 
Hoffman takes on her projects with the 
same desire to make something special, 
to create something that will be treasured 
and enjoyed. “I want people to love their 
pieces, to look at them and see something 
unique. For me, it’s a joy to think of my 
clients and all of the wonderful pillow talks 
they might have,” she says with a laugh. 
That’s a beautiful thing indeed, and well 
worth piling on with abandon.
