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.
