When we say we come from coast to coast we really mean it. My husband is from Oahu and I am from Boston...and we met somewhere in the middle in Oregon. Which is where we own and operate our two stores. One is a snow, surf, skate shop -Extreme Board Shop, that we have had for over 16 years the other is a sweet little resale boutique -Urban Renewal, next to the cutest coffee shop -Dutch Bros., in the downtown area of Grants Pass. My husband's family has run a Japanese restaurant -Matsukaze, for over 25 years next to the board shop.We have two daughters (one of which models for me and the other has her own blog http://www.sweeetcooker.blogspot.com) a cat, five chickens and one bird. My family is my highest priority and our great employees make it possible for us to be parents and travel without worrying about our businesses.
I grew up wearing vintage clothing and have a fascination with mod styles from the 60's, bohemian styles from the 70's and retro 80's clothes. When I was younger I would go to thrift stores, raid my dad and grandpa's closets and put together eclectic outfits. I have sewn for as long as I can remember and worked for a designer after graduating highschool. Changing and re-purposing clothes to make them more current is one of my favorite creative outlets.
