Now for my favorite part of featuring artists and crafters, getting to know more about them and their creative process!
Where are you located + are you from there originally?
I am currently located in Everett, WA. I am originally from California but I've also lived in Minnesota and Oregon. Washington has been my home for the past 9 years and once you've lived in Seattle, it's hard to imagine living anywhere else!
How did you come up with your shop name?
How did you come up with your shop name?

How long have you had your shop?

I started working on L&L a year ago. My Etsy shop has only been open since October 2014.
What inspires you?
Imperfection! I struggle with perfectionism and often have let my fear of failing hold me back. What I love about L&L is that the beauty of hand carving and individually stamping each item, I can't have perfection. It forces me to embrace imperfection and makes me love each variation.

What is your favorite item in your shop?
Currently my favorite item is the organic dijon feather dress. It is a special item because it's the only dress I've made and it is just so pretty!
Do you have any other jobs or hobbies?

My main job is being a wife and mother, that takes up most of my time! I dabble in blogging, I love cooking and since having children, I have loved throwing fun parties.

I am fascinated with child birth and someday when I am finished having babies of my own I would love to be certified as a doula and childbirth educator.
What do you hope your future holds?
My hopes for L&L- We are in the process of listing our first home for sale and I dream of a space in our next home where I can have a dedicated studio to work in. Currently I draw and carve my stamps on my dining table after the kids have gone to bed.

Shandell's Review
_____________
Amanda sent us an arrows onesie in pomegranate. This onesie is perfection for my little Aurelia. The color is a coral variation, which is one of my favorites for baby girl right now. If you recall from our nursery and baby shower for her, we had chosen an arrow theme inspired by Psalm 127: 3, 4 so this onesie was the perfect choice for our little girl.
The fabric is soft and comfortable, the print is sturdy but not rough, and the design is really professional. Every time Aurelia wears this onesie we get a lot of compliments and inquires as to where it came from (I should start carrying business cards for Linden & Lilah!).
I would definitely recommend snagging any of these precious clothes from Linden & Lilah for your favorite little ones or parents-to-be!
