1what inspires you ? Funny the things that do inspire me- my whole idea for my bags was inspired while in a yoga class. And once the inspiration hit me, not even a Child's Pose was going to stop me! Inspiration can hit at anytime, so always be prepared- make sure that pen and paper are always close by! I am inspired by fabrics, by my two boys, taking my dogs for a walk, and of course just being outside hiking!

2 what does indie mean to you> Indie is a great term- used to describe us interesting designers who feel we have created something unique that does not fit in with the rest of everyday items! Indie means wonderful- being able to create wonderful, useful, and helpful products that people can be proud to own!

3 what do you like about being a indie designer? I love being an indie designer- It puts us in a class of our own! Unique, cool, hip and most of all it gives us a place to call home. Being an indie designer-means a family of other designers who understand how we think, know who we are, and accept what we create!

4 when did you open shop? my www.olovesm.com website opened in October 2006. Since then we have been working hard to get the site up and running and working on making the Shop open so people can buy our fun, hip bags!

5what do you think of indie shop interviews? I think this is a great place and space to share. Being able to tell people about who we are and what we create is so much fun! You have been so kind to give us the opportunity to share to others what we have to offer- and what we have is amazing!!
