What’s a Bound to be Creative shop•tique you ask?!
Great question! It’s going to be my shop + boutique all in one stop providing you with all my different products that I design and create. Limited reversible hats for all seasons, bags, neck warmers, hat and scarf sets and more will be available for purchase or for ordering. You’ll have the experience of stopping in and ordering a custom hat with all the fabulous colors I have to offer, order a colorful bag or a T-(sweat) shirt dress!
Yes, I’m making t-shirt dresses now! Find their debut in my next newsletter….oops, not on my newsletter? Well, get on that list right HERE!
You’ll also get upcoming dates on my upcoming OPEN HOUSE!
Of course you can always order online 24/7!!

Shop Opening October 2020!!
There’s a pandemic….Why open a shop NOW?
Why not.
YOU Inspire Me!
For the last 8+ years I’ve admired the look in your eyes as you try on Bound hats or drape a new Bound bag over your shoulder. Our conversations have been sometimes deep and sometimes we laugh – even shed a tear or two. You’ve graced me with entering my booth at craft shows, you’ve ordered online and you’ve sent me wonderful notes of gratitude, and you also inspire me with your generous reviews. You have even given me new ideas for new products!
Mostly, you have been so supportive in pursuing my passion – for this I’m so grateful!
I’m SO excited to have a permanent location for you to continue to shop Bound to be Creative products all year long!

Why Lake City, MN?
The short answer is – it just worked out! One small town deserves to get to know another and it so happens that Lake City, MN is my hometown and my parents are welcoming me with open arms! Lake City offers up a neat tourist experience along the Mississippi River and it’s a growing community that has a lot to offer.
New shop will open October, 2020!

Bound to be…truly and gratefully yours,
