Location:
Bradenton, Florida
About Me:
I'm a Florida based artist. Sewing was a skill passed down in our family from my mother's mother who studied Costume Design at Pratt Institute. I think I'm still a few generations away from mastering the art form. But couldn't live without my sewing machine!

I have been running an online shop called Funky Utopia since 2003. This October, I am relaunching the website { www.ShopFunkyUtopia.com } and opening a tiny shop in Bradenton, Florida as well.

Funky Utopia features handmade clothing, accessories and vintage vinyl. Visit our website for more information!

The Shop is Open!

Well, it took a bit longer than expected and it's still not quite where I'd like it to be. But the Funky Utopia shop is back open for business!!

Plus, today I opened an etsy shop (under FunkyUtopiaDesigns) mostly out of curiousity. We'll see how it all turns out!

Thanks for stopping by and for visiting my shops! :)

what's in a name anyway?

This place is so much fun!! I love it here. It's a little tricky putting faces to names for me... I'm so used to associating business names with folks. Seeing everyone's real names is throwing me off. hahaa!!
