In 2004, she began sewing and creating products for wholesale/retail market and Western Border and Company, LLC. was born. After two additional accidents, the business was off to a slow start, however through pure determination and ambition Caroline is making a name for herself and her company in a big way with the support of her family. The business has been a huge blessing for Caroline, professionally and personally. Turning her physical and emotional pain into something positive has given her the opportunities that many only dream off. Caroline had not only been able to use her creativity to build a successful business that she loves, but more importantly to be there for her husband, Daniel and their son and to cherish every s i n g l e moment together.
