Description

Let me introduce myself--I am the queen of dumpster diving. My career as a dumpster diver began as a young child, thanks to my Grandmother, who introduced me to the art, and skillfully trained me to search and rescue perfectly good discards from dumpsters and curbside trash cans, (thus the name "Curbside Couture"). Grandma was a true GEM. She's in Heaven now, but when I stumble upon that gem in a junk pile, I can feel her standing right next to me, cheering me on. In honor of Grandma, I have since added garage sales, thrift stores, and flea markets to my list of favorites.....Grandma would be so proud!

I am an artist ~ ~ heart and soul ~ ~ I collect and create. I am also a fashion designer with a passion for beautiful vintage textiles with which I create one-of-a-kind wearable art.

I still have an old red stuffed dog from when I was just a year old. I think that spawned the most obsessive collection of textiles this side of the Mississippi. Since I was around to witness Woodstock and the first man on the moon, you can safely bet that I'm over 30 ~ ~ which means my collections span 30-40 years. Ok, so I'm way over 30.
