With a love of the nostalgic, a feel for the past, and a vast collection of mid-century vintage textiles, buttons and trims to inspire, I've created a line of baby quilts, pillows, bibs, infant wear, dolls and puppets. Many are fashioned from vintage items found at antique fairs and flea markets.

The first HANKY BLANKY was made in 1985 as a gift to my godchild. Each new baby in my life (friends’ and relatives’!) received one and with the response, I continued my search for hankies and vintage fabrics. It became an obsession!
ANIMAL WRAPPER is a version of my best friend’s blanky she had as a baby, handmade by her grandmother! I loved all the animals and their cute stitched faces! I had found another idea to use all my vintage fabrics.

ROUGEWEAR, the baby clothing line is completely inspired by vintage finds, updating the looks by adding modern function and durability. All vintage fabrics are pre-washed and each garment is constructed with care and attention to detail. This whimsical clothing line is reminiscent of a simpler time. Recapture the innocence of days gone by. All pieces are individually cut and sewn in New York City!
At one estate sale, I found 2 shoeboxes full of Jinglin’ Jack’s plastic painted faces! I just had to make some yo yo’s up with all the different, colorful fabrics – that is, the fabric circles that comprise his legs. He is a limited edition.

Each new year and season brings about new ideas. Perhaps a Christmas ornament, a dried and pressed flower card...little purses made from leftover end of zippers. Soon my mosaic art will be up for sale,
All products uniquely handcrafted in NYC.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your memories.
