We are Sarah and Laura, childhood best friends turned Mahj and Vine Co-Founders. We grew up together in a neighborhood called Robinhood Forest. Laura on Whispering Wind Drive. Sarah on Greenly. Our summers were spent in the woods behind Laura’s house. We played by the creek, shaped pottery from North Carolina red clay, climbed what we called “the cliff,” rode our bikes past the azaleas, ate honeysuckle until our stomachs hurt, and watched fireflies flicker across the yard at night. Winter afternoons were often spent around strategy games that quietly taught us patience, competition, and joy. Laura’s childhood sketches grew into the artistry behind Mahj and Vine. She hand draws every tile, and that foundation shapes each collection we create. The name of the Whispering Winds tile set comes from her street. The matching mat, Greenly, from Sarah’s. The jokers nod to the storybook spirit of Robinhood Forest. The hummingbird in the Bird Bam echoes the ones that hovered outside our windows. Our designs are not simply inspired by our childhood. They are rooted in it. From our neighborhood to your table, thank you for playing a part in our story. We’re so glad you’re with us as we build Mahj & Vine on the foundation of friendship, nostalgia, artistry, and an eye to the future of continuing to grow the American Mahjong community.
