1. Tell me a bit about yourself (name, location, affiliations, personal stuff).

Bridgette, San Diego, CA

2. What inspires you? Where do your ideas come from?

Everyday I am inspired, be it either a person or a place or a sound or smell, everything can be inspiring. Nature and Travel are probably my largest inspirations!

3. Why should people buy handmade?

Nothing beats a handmade item, they are always made with love and you know it is one of a kind! Not to mention they are usually made with items of higher quality than your run of the mill items.

4. Where do you think you'll be in five years?

In five years I would be happy to be doing what I am doing. I have been doing this for the past five years now and it has increased ten fold since the first year. So I am hoping that in the year 2012 (wow), I will be happily and comfortably successful, hopefully I will have had time to see the world here and there and who knows maybe a child, but that is to be determined at a much later date!

5. What is your favourite thing in your shop and why?

Currently, I think it has to be our adventure card set. It is my favorite colelction with the fun imagery and quotes to live by. I hope it evokes a sense of travel and adventure in all that read them.
