From Rags to Linen By Boca News

By Heather McMechan

Special to The Pineapple I had the pleasure of sitting down with Christina Price local mom and owner of the Linen Closet in Delray Beach. Here is the scoop!

How did the Linen Closet get started? I was selling industrial rags supplying to large boats and yachts. When I went down to the dock in my heels and my handbag one day, one of the mates from the other boat said, “Hey! We need linens for our boat”. I was basically selling engine rags. The mate proceeded to ask me for monogrammed linens and towels and that’s when I thought I can do this. I was raised by my mom around finer linens. So, I started outfitting yachts and large boats with monogrammed towels and linens. Once I made those connections, I started doing baby gifts along with other monogrammed items. That’s how it all started.

What is your biggest stress as a mom? Wondering whether I am making the right choice.

What is your style? I like a little bit of Florida Resort and I keep that style within the Linen Closet.

What is your favorite fashion must have? For mothers, I think accessorizing is the key.

What is the one beauty product you cannot live without? Concealer, mascara and lip gloss.

How do you stay organized? My smartphone and I still write everything down. How do you keep your daughter organized? She has her own school supply box and organized craft space to do homework and projects.
