Collected by Hand, Lived with Soul.

Hand and Soul Decor was born from a lifelong love of beautiful interiors, storied objects, and the belief that the spaces we live in should feel as good as they
look.

Meet Cathy

I’m Cathy, the founder and curator behind Hand and Soul Decor. After more than 25 years as a Registered Dietitian, I made a huge pivot in 2020, and started my first business, Settled In Services, specializing in estate liquidation and consignment. That work brought me face-to-face with homes full of history—pieces that had been chosen carefully, lived with deeply, and passed down with meaning. Somewhere along the way, my long-standing passion for antiques, vintage design, and interiors came rushing back. Hand and Soul Decor is the natural next chapter.

Why Hand and Soul?

The name came together after a trip to Round Top, Texas- an antiquing pilgrimage- that resulted in a suitcase filled almost entirely with hand sculptures and antique foot molds (which TSA found… memorable). It was a moment that perfectly captured what I love most: objects shaped by the human form, crafted by hand, and infused with soul. The name stuck, and so did the vision.

What We Collect

I source furniture, artwork, objets d’art, home décor, and entertaining pieces that feel timeless, tactile, and full of character. I’m drawn to pieces made by hand, shaped by time, and rich with subtle imperfections—the kinds of items that make a room feel layered and lived-in rather than styled for a moment. You’ll find a mix of antiques and thoughtfully chosen vintage pieces, each selected with an interior designer’s eye and a collector’s heart. These are pieces meant to be used, enjoyed, and woven into everyday life—not just admired from afar.

Meet Our Team

All my life I have been a lover of knowledge, history, travel and culture. I’m proud to say that I have visited over 50 countries exploring local culture, markets, arts, crafts and historic homes. I also have a passion for historical literature leading me to genealogy and a natural curiosity for preserving our past. Settled In Services has allowed me to expand that curiosity for the arts, history and home décor.

Lourdes Clark

It has allowed me to both learn and share my knowledge of vintage and antique goods, artwork, and fine collectibles. Sharing a little bit of the past with younger generations is my way of preserving the legacy left behind by those before us.

My greatest accomplishment in life has been my family, my two children – Anthony who is deceased and was the love of my life, Alexis, my pride and joy, my grandchildren who make my heart happy, and Tony, my husband of 40 years. In that time, I have prided myself in maintaining an organized home where they all may feel love and comfort.

Patty Garcia

I have helped many people organize their own homes, have pursued my love of interior decorating and home management. Not only do I bring my love of decorating to the Settled In Shop, but also my “chispa” and my love of helping others to the Settled In team. It is in helping that I feel happy and blessed.
