Who are the People in your Neighborhood?

Okay, so it's a Treasury West which is like Treasury's fat cousin, but that's okay :)

I decided to give some of the other rad Seattle Etsians out there a little love.

Seattle really is teeming with artistic talent. You can see it in every boutique, restaurant, farmer's market and public building around here. I find it really inspirational to be surrounded by so much creative energy everyday. Nothing is more encouraging than being surrounded by people who are constantly creating. It's really amazing, and I feel really lucky.

Here's a list of the artists I featured (and the alternates!) please visit their shops!

Here we go!

So I make tutus. I started making tutus because I wanted Kitty, my February '07 baby, to have something special to wear for her first birthday. I started looking online and in all of the local shops here in my neighborhood, and I found tutus everywhere. Most of them were either flimsy, or single color, or waaaaay over-priced. I knew I could do better, and so I set out to make her the perfect tutu. The result can be seen on the left. I was so pleased with it that I thought that other moms and dads (and aunts, uncles, and friends) might like customizable, affordable tutus for the little girls in their lives. And Nate and Cate Designs was born!

I'm pretty new at this, and I thought I'd start this blog to keep everyone up to date on the shop, and to document how this whole "Hey, let's open a business!" thing is working out for me!
