It started as a love for all things hip with a hint of vintage or retro undertones. Rockford red-heeled monkeys. Rockabilly dresses. Jewelry made of 35mm film strips. Owl wallpaper. And as any frugal fashion (or lack thereof?) pioneer would say to another, nothing beats making something yourself. Old curtains found homes in dresser drawers as skirts. Old socks became toys. Everything has the potential to have a second chance at life.
When I began making original sock monkeys, people begged me to make them one. So I did. And I made lots.
I found that I really enjoyed making the monkeys, as well as other little things. So was born The Lavender Finch., a place to find homes for all of my little creations.
