Their story is simple . . . that of two sisters who grew up in a
very small town on an island in Washington State during the 1960's.
They learned to sew at the knees of their mother and grandmother
at an early age -- making doll clothes and eventually their own.
The entrepreneurial spirit comes naturally from the pioneer stock of
their forefathers. They're proud of, and thankful to, them for
passing on the dreams and work ethic that it takes to start a small
business.
Dawn, the older and wiser sister, is the sewing wizard! She
does 95% of the sewing of the products and is the most perfect
fabric (and paper) cutter in the world! Dawn instigated the business
when she sent Debbie a Hobo Bag as a gift. Always on the lookout
for new and exciting products, Dawn keeps the product line fresh
and on the cutting edge. She stops sewing only long enough to enjoy
her beautiful and super smart granddaughters, Aurora and
Genevieve. She works part-time at a bank and lives in Eastern
Washington State with her hubby, Morris.
Debbie, the younger and wildly imaginative sister, handles the
day-to-day, business-end of things. A super-duper organizer, she
gets the taxes filed, fills orders and books craft festivals. After
receiving the infamous Hobo Bag, she took the fantasy ball and ran
with it! Debbie, too, enjoys occasional visits with her darling
grandchildren, Gabriel, Liam, Eliana and Andi, who live in Tennessee
and Illinois. She works full-time for an accounting firm and lives on
Whidbey Island in Washington State.
Because they both work outside the home, they have an occasional
need to outsource tasks! Mother, Polly, helps in myriad ways
(handwork, stuffing envelopes, booth sitting, emergency runs to
fabric stores, moral support . . . the list goes on!); sister-in-law,
Ann, is great at fabric coordination and buying; and, Dawn's
daughter, Elspeth, is their "woman on the street"!
