Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m Catherine! This journey started in a surprising way. At 40, while pregnant with my third child, I discovered a love for appliqué and monogramming. What began as a small hobby—creating custom pieces—quickly grew into a thriving boutique and an incredible online community of women from all over the country.

Outside of the boutique, I’ve been happily married to my husband Shane for over 25 years, and together, we’ve been blessed with three amazing children. My favorite Bible verse, Ecclesiastes 4:10, reminds me of the strength found in support and friendship, while the story of Esther continues to inspire me daily. Our perfect family day is spent on the boat in beautiful Murrells Inlet, SC.

Oh, and I’m a die-hard college football fan! I proudly cheer for WVU, my alma mater; Clemson, my dream school; and Coastal Carolina, where we now pay tuition (Go Chanticleers!).

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you find something here that sparks joy and becomes a favorite in your wardrobe. Your support means everything to us!

Where the Name Came From

The name The Preppy Pineapple reflects a mix of Catherine's personality and roots. “Preppy” represents my classic style, while “Pineapple” is a nod to Southern hospitality and the warmth of welcoming friends and family. Though my closet may be filled with black, my heart belongs to all things pink, gingham, seersucker, pearls, and flip-flops—anything with a preppy flair!
