For more than two decades, Tabitha and Michelle have been the trusted hands guiding families and businesses through the complex world of finance. As partners in a highly successful tax practice with thriving offices in Southern California and Tomball, Texas, they built their careers on numbers, structure, and precision. But after twenty years of balancing sheets, the long-time business partners felt a familiar, creative tug: it was time to branch out and build something completely new.

While they still happily serve their tax clients, Tabitha and Michelle have officially traded tax forms for Tuscan olive oils, transforming a shared dream into a beautiful, boutique in the heart of Old Town Spring, Texas.

The inspiration for the store is deeply rooted in Tabitha’s background as an Italian-American raised in New England. Up north, the corner Italian marketis a neighborhood anchor. It is a place filled with the rich aromas of imported goods, where the shelves are packed with artisan ingredients, and every customer is treated like a cousin.

When searching for the perfect location to recreate that magic in Texas, Old Town Springwas the natural choice. With its historic charm, winding walkways, and timeless character, the area mirrors the soul of the shop itself.

"Family is everything in Italian culture," Tabitha says. "We wanted to create a store that appeals to many generations. We believe our boutique, just like Old Town Spring, truly has something for everyone."

Reviving the Sunday Dinner

At the heart of the boutique's philosophy is a simple truth: food brings people together.

In a fast-paced world, finding the time to cook from scratch can feel impossible. Tabitha and Michelle curated their culinary collection to solve that modern dilemma without sacrificing quality. The shop features an exquisite, hand-selected line of the finest olive oils and vinegars sourced directly from Italy, Greece, Jerusalem, Morocco, and Germany.

For the main course, shelves are stocked with premium, imported dried pastas from Italy—including highly praised gluten-free options—alongside gourmet sauces, effortless one-pot meals, and decadent dessert kits. It is a collection explicitly designed to encourage busy families to slow down and revive the beautiful, traditional Sunday dinner.

The crown jewel of the customer experience, however, happens right at the counter. Guests are invited to hand-select their favorite items from the shelves—and are even welcome to bring in external treasures—to be styled into a stunning, custom-tailored gift basket for their loved ones.

After twenty years of helping people protect their assets, Tabitha and Michelle are now in the business of helping people create memories. Whether you are looking for the perfect host gift, a rare olive oil, or a reason to gather the family around the dinner table, Old Town Spring’s newest gem welcomes you home.
