I am Parker. Welcome aboard!
I am Parker. And I am thrilled to meet you.


You’re here! I’m so thrilled you’ve taken time to stop by. Here, you’ll find my favorites…everything from style to food to travel tips and more.
Since you’re here, let me share a bit about myself. I’ve been part of the National family for a while…37 years to be exact…when my grandfather first brought me into his office as a newborn. Though my incredible granddad and namesake is no longer here, I have chosen to follow in his footsteps (and mom’s) by joining the place that grew, encouraged, and loved me into my adulthood. I am a part of the ever growing and fantastic National family.
More often than I realized, my grandfather took the pages of the National catalog to share his experiences of raising up a vibrant, dedicated, and connected family. Thanks to the National cover and letters from both my grandfather and mother, you have seen my sister and me grow from pig tails to pearls. You have not just read of our family’s journey. You have been part of it. For nearly seventy years, National Wholesale has been in the homes of women across America. You, our National customers, have been a part of the conversation, because you are family.
And so I invite you to be a part of our growing family! Stop by to find out some favorite style tips from our product team. Read up on my favorite North Carolina adventures. Meet the faces of National’s home (and mine) in Lexington, North Carolina. Find out just what makes that perfect pimento cheese. Hear what it’s like to work with alongside a daughter (Lynda certainly has some thoughts!) And meet other women, just like you.
Put on that muumuu, grab a cup of coffee, and stay a while.
