It really amazes me how Doeville is evolving! She is taking me on this terrific path of finding and creating products which nurture the soul of any outdoor person but especially the souls of women. I have been so blessed to travel and cross paths with some amazing women artists! Doeville has become the "umbrella" to all this talent! The other wonderful thing is that these women are right here in the United States! With all the national attention brought to us by major media about buying products "Made in the USA", I am so honored to know not this has been my goal from the beginning steps of my company in 2006. When I started, it was a struggle to find ALL products made here and be cost effective. Our "printed" logo products were printed in Tennessee but the actual products were made in other countries. This saddened me but I have kept moving forward to find products which are affordable and made in this beautiful country!
I encourage us all to keep moving in this direction and supporting our friends and families. I hope you will visit my site and meet these women for yourself.
KC Willis, artist from Colorado, has created a beautiful line called "Girls with Guns" collection which we feature in stock. KC's wall tapestries take the Old West and brings it to the future. Using fabrics, tea stained lace and recycled objects, she gives us art that makes us smile. Please press "Read More" below to continue the blog.

As hunters we are always thinking about our scent in the woods! Well I would like to share about scents in the house. During the last few months, there has been some mighty fantastic smells coming from our kitchen. There is nothing better than having the smells of turkey, bread, cookies and anything else we might bake up "Stinking up the house". This is what my Dad calls it! When I was little, my Mom would put our Thanksgiving Turkey on the night before the big day. When morning came, the smell would levitate me off my bed, down the steps to the kitchen....mmmm good. This year my Husband cooked a standing rib roast with a horseradish, garlic, olive oil and rosemary rub. The roast cooked for almost 3 hours and I wanted to just put a cot by the stove and inhale! Maybe the spa should try this over burning essential oils.
When I traveled through airports a few years ago, They could have blind folded me, flown me around, dropped me off and said "where are you?". With one big sniff, I could say Cinnabon, that is Cincinnati airport. Smells can reach way back in our memory banks and revive an old feeling or place.
There are some smells we might like to avoid but most smells are good. This may sound crazy but I love the smell of the skunk. From childhood we are automatically taught that when we smell this smell we reply "PEWWWWW". It was not until by adulthood that a friend, Tom, told me he liked the smell of the skunk. I thought about this for a while and determined he was right. I agreed even more when I moved away from Tennessee to Florida, where I do not get those whiffs much anymore. When I drive home and get that scent of skunk, I feel at home...silly but true.
