I moved to the Olympic Peninsula with my husband in search of a more relaxed lifestyle for our little family. We had a new addition in December of 2009, our daughter Elyse, the namesake & inspiration for Ellie & Company. I wanted to bring together what I love the most...my family and my passion for all things design. My family purchased Heather Creek in downtown Sequim last summer and voila! I have yet another outlet for my passion. I'm new to the blogging world, trying to keep up with both the blog for Heather Creek and now Ellie & Company...and hoping you'll join my journey on both!
