Stories Retold. Heirlooms Reimagined.
-Modern Memory Keepsakes
Custom Made from your Clothing- We had already donated, and discarded a large number of items.

I have felt the heartache first hand, that comes from facing a box of personal items from my loved ones. Oftentimes, when we say goodbye to a loved one, we are left with loose pieces of their story in the form of clothes. In 2018, I lost my mother, very unexpectedly, As the fog of shock and grief lifted several years later, I felt a nagging need to 'make a decision' about the HUGE tote of her clot

hes that came home with me after her passing. But what was left, still overwhelmed me. When I opened the box I didn't see random shirts, scarves, etc. Instead I saw countless reminders of family vacations, milestones, holidays, and more. They where something I could touch, smell and hold close in her absence. How could I hold on the memories, without holding onto the clothes? How do you maintain that physical connection and hold onto the memories, without feeling burdened by boxes of ‘stuff?'

I found much needed comfort and relief, when I realized I could preserve the fabric of my loved one’s life in a meaningful keepsake. Now I work to bring a similar comfort and peace of mind to other's who want to honor their loved one in a unique and meaningful way. I transform your clothes from hidden away or forgotten, to out into the light, where they can bring joy, texture and beauty into your home and life, as an original heirloom keepsake.

In honor of - let's talk coffee stains. Got stains? No problem!
Stains are part of your (shirt’s) journey! Normally we do nothing about stains on your clothing. If this is ok with you, then you don’t need to do anything. But if there is a stain that you don’t want in your , mark that area with blue painters masking tape. On the masking tape write what your stain preference is (ie remove or avoid if possible.) We can also patch or do ‘visible mending’ over large holes, to prevent them from becoming larger. In other words - life is messy and those stains , tears, and worn areas are just signs of a life lived fully! They make your special

Just like flowers, we need the rain to help us grow. And just like flowers, we change colors. Sometimes through joy and happiness and sometimes because of sadness and grief. It is important to remember that there will always be rain, but when the sun comes back out, you can bet that it will bloom into something beautiful again.

When I'm not helping other people preserve their memories through fabric keepsakes, I like to make memories with my own friends and family. Here's a snapshot of me and my dad enjoying a coffee date recently. The latte and scone were nice, but the quality time was priceless. How do you like to spend your free time?

I saw back to clothes school ads the other day - which reminded me it is almost time for my seasonal closet cleanout. Our tiny closet forces me to pull seasonal/unused clothes out regularly. Do you have a favorite trick or method for keeping your clothing under control? What happens to the items you dont need any longer, but can't bare to part with?
