A Message From Karen
I am a mom of three children who loves to partake in any outdoor activities.  I love running, hiking, skiing and just enjoying the beautiful weather.  I am a college professor and also own a boutique.  Although teaching was my first love, I have found my creative side and truly enjoy creating the products for my boutique.

I never intended for my business to be where it is now. I started by just making flip flops and jewelry.  I really enjoyed showing my product and doing market places and vendor events.  My inventory eventually grew to clothing and now I own three sewing machines!!  I truly love what I do and really hope to continue growing my business so that I can one day pass it on to my daughter.

Currently I own a store on Etsy and have my products in three local boutiques.  I would like to expand my inventory in these boutiques and hopefully find a couple more to carry my product.  I also (of course) would like to create a following on Etsy.  I have found the online market very competitive so am working very hard to get my name out there.  I would like to offer any readers of this blog a 10% discount on my product.  Just convo me on Etsy and let me know you would like the discount and I can make a listing for you.
