Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Jackie — a lifelong lover of all things antique and storied. What started as a personal love for treasure hunting and curating forgotten pieces has turned into Gathered in the Palms, a place where the past finds new life. I’m drawn to items that feel like they’ve lived, loved and lasted — from timeworn books and delicate oils to patinated metals, heirloom stones and softened textures. I believe the past has a softness to it, a kind of poetry, and my joy is in gently placing those stories into your hands and home.

Gathered in the Palms is a vintage and antique collection rooted in South Florida. Each piece I find is hand selected for its patina, craftsmanship and lives lived. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering the magic of antiques, the shop offers a mix of everyday beauty and statement finds — all gathered with heart, history and a sense of place.

Aside from collecting and reselling antiques, I am also a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist practicing in Miami. If you’re in the area and want to make an appointment, click here for more information.

Our mission statement

At Gathered in the Palms, our mission is to preserve history through thoughtful curation. I believe vintage and antique pieces deserve a second chapter — not just as decor, but as storytellers that bring character and charm into our homes. Sustainability, authenticity and soulful design are at the heart of everything we do.

Gathered in the Palms exists to honor the poetry of the past. We hope to source pieces that evoke memory, emotion and timelessness. Each piece is a fragment of history, chosen with care, so it can continue its story with you.
