New Windows at Wendy Foster

Catherine Greenup and her husband, who live in Sacramento, come to our stores, every 3 months, and create these fantastic window displays which are worth a visit to the store. They do all our stores over a period of 2 to 3 days and then move on. They have eleven accounts throughout the state and it keeps them very busy.

Catherine worked for us several years ago and left to move to Sacramento to be with her husband who was involved in fisheries – or fish farming. They have since teamed up, she is incredibly inventive and he has the skills to make her visions a reality.

These photos were taken early evening, unfortunately, we still have to compete with some background lights.

Dress Shop just received our fall 2011 Dosa collection

Dosa is a clothing and accessories collection designed by Christina Kim. Christina works with traditional artisans from around the world using handmade techniques and materials recycled from her own production.

Many of these handmade projects are labor intensive rather than resource intensive and use traditional techniques to make new designs.

Dosa hopes to keep different traditions alive and to broaden markets for these goods. These collaborative projects have even helped create small communities of skilled crafts people with steady incomes.

Each collection features simple lines, unusual textiles and handmade details.
