Our Team

Amanda Mitchell, Owner

^{Amanda draws inspiration from her love of Palm Beach mixed with the quaint charm of New England, and has a love for whimsical color combinations and patterns. She lives in Charlestown with her husband Jason and daughter Maya, who you can often find bouncing behind the counter at Junebug.}

^{Amanda was recently recognized by Mayor Wu and the City of Boston as one of 2023's EXTRAordinary Women, and has been instrumental in the formation of the Charlestown Business Alliance, the venture behind May Day and Holiday Night Out.}

Becca Gillespie, Director of Operations

As a lover of cheerful spaces and shades of blue and green, Becca was initially drawn to Place & Gather as a local resident and customer. When an open sales position became available, she leapt from the high school English classroom to the world of decor and curated gifts. Now as store manager and lead buyer, she relishes the opportunity to select and style the treasures that bring joy to the Charlestown community.
