Odd Molly Soap

Odd Molly Soap

First of all, I owe a huge thanks to Bronwen (my friend, co-worker & model) for coming to work unknowing that I wanted to snap pictures and  plaster her cute self ALL over my blog…I’m thinking she should get a bonus!!  We really just wanted to put some great Odd Molly Fall 09 outfits together and show it off!  We have mixed in some Swedish Hasbeen shoes, Hand-nailed of course in Sweden, Irregular Choice shoes from the UK, and some fun beautiful knit accessories from Peru.  We hope you enjoy and please let us know what you think! 

I have a special gift for Bronwen for all the extra stuff she’s helped me with it’s a small Limited edition something from Odd Molly and Helena Christenson, don’t you think she will Love it?  I have one more Limited edition something left, stay tuned, it could be yours:)

Meet our fed ex guy, he’s our hero bringing our beautiful mollies, Thank YOU!

In the last few days, I have been asked to do the artwork for a postcard for a new Sustainable Equestrian Facility called Wacky Nut Farm on Bainbridge Island, Washington.  I have been working on some ideas and got my kids coloring my sketches…Super fun, I thought I would show off our first drafts….

I have had a LOVE for fashion since I could save up my allowance to buy Vogue….I think around age 12 the obsession began, I would buy fashion magazines and sketch my favorite model shots…this would keep me up until 2 or 3 in the morning…I also learned to sew at a young age, and around age 14 had the confidence to make my own school clothes, and lets just say my mother was sooo cool to actually allow me to wear some of my creations to school….I will try to find some pictures to post!  I went off to college to fashion design school at Washington State University in 1988  the only school that offered a design program, and the only one that gave me financial aid:)  I quickly realized that most of my student mates wanted to be buyers for stores, not designers…I felt betrayed by my classmates ( remember I was 18), that they were just wanting to be recognized for having good taste, unstead of having their own style and being able to re-create that style.  I soon found my way to the other side of the campus to the fine arts building, here I quickly changed majors.  I fit into this group of students far better than any other building I had stepped foot into so far, and met some of the finest people who are still my friends. 

In 2007 I went to New York to buy clothes for my new Studio I would be opening with best friend Kathy Nelson. ” I would be selling my own artwork, and some apparel and Kathy would be selling her Jewelry and whatever pretties she would find along the way”, while I was wandering around this GIGANTIC SHOW in NEW YORK, I saw this amazing collection, it was different than anything I had seen before…It was Odd Molly.  It happened to be their maiden voyage in the USA.  I left that day feeling so excited that I got to see this very special collection, and so grateful that I did not have to be Bloomingdales or Barneys to order it, I could just be me with my crazy store of whimsical art and whatevers…and that fit into the Odd Molly philosophy!

After I wrote my first order, I left the New York Show and called my husband and said my work is done, I found this amazing line called Odd Molly, and I am coming home.  I have had the best time in the last 3 years working with my beautiful customers, and constantly being thrilled with the collection….It’s really so lovely, and the people I have met along the way have been such a blessing….Thank you Fitts and Company customers for your loyalty and kindness, I noticed;)  Sincerely, Amy E.
