E-Connect!

The two speakers that will be featured at this month’s E-Connect are:

Interior style and design authority, Lisa Besseling is the owner of The Stony Lake Furniture Co.  Earthy, elegant and uncomplicated. These are words that not only best reflect the interior and furnishings at Besseling’s store and design loft, they are fitting descriptives for this entrepreneur whose background in interior design, space planning, cabinetry and furnishings have brought her tremendous success. Lisa takes her inspiration from the Norwegian and Scandinavian design aesthetic and makes it work for cottage life in the Kawarthas. Lisa has been featured on television’s CBC’s Steven and Chris show and in Style At Home magazine.

Leslie Scott is an award-winning writer and co-founder of Walton Wood Farm – a fun and funky bath and beauty manufacturer in Bailieboro, Ontario. Leslie attributes her success to a diverse portfolio of failings… that she dismantled and reconstructed into a company with international reach. Walton Wood Farm is now signing accounts such as Nordstrom, The Bellagio Casino and Hot Topic. #namedrop
