Saying my office is complete may be stretching the truth a little, but is anything really ever complete? I raided my scrap fabric & vintage lace boxes and managed to come up with curtains to soften up the rustic wood & metal. Custom cork board. A perfect place to tack my swatches, photos & notes from […]
The office complete
Look what I just got from Tamara! Beautiful photos of the Heirloom Lace Swimsuit. I like to show each style on a variety of sizes and I love how this looks on the bigger girls. This vintage style suit is one of my favorite pieces in the Friday Harbor Collection & I can’t wait to […]
Suddenly realizing the house was quiet, I went in search of Violet. I found her sitting so nicely on the couch painting her little nails and a good portion of her fingers & toes. (Amazingly, not a drop on the couch)
It all started when I decided it would be a good idea to squish 12 kids, 9 of them boys, into the old jalopy and drive to the nearest lake for a impromptu photo shoot. It went downhill from there. The sun was much too bright for an unprofessional like me, Violet insisted on skinny […]

A few things will be changing with this collection. We are moving toward stocking all styles rather than offering “made upon order”. Once a collection is sold we will no longer produce it, so grab your styles while you can! This means no more lead times. We are only producing a small amount of the Friday […]
When the kids started eagerly volunteering to help me with the cleaning I knew Levi had something up his sleeve. When Levi walked in with 6 gallons of ice cream & cigars I started getting worried. He surprised me with balloons, roses, cake and a party with a bunch of family. Thank you, family, for […]
Another hasty self-portrait. Today marks my 37th year and Hazel’s 28th week here on earth. Today I feel the same as yesterday, like my cup runneth over.
