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.

As many of you know I hibernated Doeville last winter.  Somehow and some way all of my stars lined up for an opportunity to spend 6 months in Ten Sleep, Wyoming .  I jumped on it with both feet, a camera and my wonderful Doeville journal.  I stayed in the home of an incredible couple, Bob and Gayle, while they went to Idaho to visit and take care of his mother.  Before leaving Florida, My husband and I loaded up my Prairie Schooner (cargo trailer) filled with items to homestead West!  Just exactly what does a girl take West?  Well...my sewing machines, fabrics, computer, furry blankets, flannel pj's, and of course...my Dog Jackson!  As we traveled across country my adventure began to unfold!  The aroma of home filled the air as we passed through my hometown of Chattanooga, TN  .Then we rolled through the green  hills of Kentucky, then the arch in St.Louis, and a super treat was Cabela's headquarters in Sydney, Nebraska .  Several days later we started seeing those absolutely awesome mountains of the West!

As soon as we arrived and got the schooner unpacked... big delicious, beautiful, soft snowflakes fell on my eyelashes!  The PURE silence around us was so amazing tucked in the mountains all around us.  The next day we rose to a soft, powdery snow which laid like a blanket across the landscape.  For me, snow is so authentic and soothing...it is one of my most favorite things!  Jackson and I enjoyed so many days of playing, hiking and learning to snowshoe...thank you precious Jeannie!  Be sure to push "read more" below for more pics.

Love...what a powerful four lettered word!  We use it everyday to show our affection for our spouse, children, parents and even our animals.  When my husband tells me he loves me, it is like he is wrapping a big soft blanket of protection around me for the day!  Love is not only a word but a feeling for me!  Love for me is that warmness which flows from my chest, up through my throat and sometimes erupting into tears of happiness!  When our heart is happy, that is LOVE.

Even though my dog Jackson can't say "I love you Mom", I know this by the smile on his face and the wag in his tail!  And of course I cannot forget to mention the puppy kisses!

My Mom and Dad always end our phone conversations many miles apart by saying "I love You..I Love you too"  It makes my day complete.
