Treats by Tay

Back in 2018 I found a local baker who did the most beautiful cakes and I ordered one. She had a small Instagram page of about 500 followers and I thought I lucked out discovering this new local gem. Flash forward to the next year when I decided to order another cake and I found her page with over 100,000 followers and national coverage. 😂 That escalated quickly! Taylor of @treatsbytay is an incredible talent and I think we should all get to know her better”

Abie of Creative Co Studios

Hi! I’m Abie, an eighth-generation Idahoan, branding photographer, and visual content creator based in Boise. I’m the daughter and granddaughter of entrepreneurs, so I grew up knowing I wanted to build something of my own—something that gave me the freedom to do what I love while eventually raising a family. I picked up a camera in high school and never put it down. After walking through a season of personal growth in my early 20s, I made the decision to go all in and build a business that could support both my life and my purpose. That’s how Creative Co. Studios was born.

Rose Sellars, From Technology Exec to Beloved Coffee House Founder

In spring of 2025, Rose opened Primitive Grounds on a historic corner in Old Town Meridian. An organic coffee shop built around health-forward ingredients, thoughtful sourcing, and a pace that invites people to slow down. It did not take long for it to become a place people felt drawn to, not just for coffee, but for how it made them feel.

Lorelle Rau, Art Consultant and Collage Artist

I’ve been a fan of local artist @lorellerau of @lorelleraustudios for a while now. Not only is she a fantastic creative, she holds an impressive resume of accomplishments and she does so much in the community. Not to mention is such a lovely person. With all of the chaos in the world right now it seemed like the perfect time to highlight someone who’s making the world beautiful, one art piece at a time.
