Carol Hodge The Scent Of Heaven
C
arol Hodge is entrepreneur, artist, designer and heart behind The Scent of Heaven founded in 2006. She is a lifelong artist who loves to create through all sorts of venues: painting on canvas, calligraphy, jewelry making and much more. For a season, she had a shop at the 1904 World’s Fair Building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri where she sold “Dive for a Pearl” with custom jewelry. In real estate the motto is “ location, location, location” and in 1990 Carol Hodge found a great location to launch her business “Dive For A Pearl”.. To give historical background on her world fashion location we find that in April 1904, St. Louis opened its doors to the world for what was officially called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, but was widely known as the St. Louis World’s Fair. Millions of dollars had been spent to build the 1,200-acre fairgrounds. During the eight months the fair stayed open, nearly 20 million people paid a visit. On display were marvels of technology, agriculture, art, and history, and there were amusement rides and entertainment. Decades later comes Carol Hodge and her creations to accentuate the World’s Fair Building. Her artistry breathed the heavenly scent throughout. Coupled with this creativity is a strong love of the Lord and a prophetic gifting.
