Mom Blends Heirloom Beauty and Modern Practicality in Creative Online Business

Taterberry Cottage has relocated to Everett, Washington and is announcing the addition of Little Girls' Pearls and Alex & Ari Glamour Girl Purses to their product line.

Everett, WA February 9, 2005 -- As a young girl, Jennifer Hudson learned a love of sewing from her grandmother and mother. Her self-employed father built houses for a living. Being raised by two self-employed parents fostered a caring bond she wanted for her own family. Hudson left the real estate/mortgage industry to stay home with her two daughters. My dad built houses and I decided to create hand-made treasures to transform a house into a home, she declared.

One evening her daughter was playing a lets make up silly words game and called her father a strawberrypotato. He responded Youre a Taterberry! The name for Hudsons home business was born. In June 2004, Hudson opened Taterberry Cottage to showcase traditional childrens clothing by Alex & Ari and Lucy Pearl. The apparel is reminiscent of heirlooms one might find in grandmas attic, states Hudson. In addition to the romantic feel of such pieces, Hudson wanted to offer items both comforting and practical. Top selling custom made Rice Patties protect your table while soothing the senses. Folks personalize this gift by choosing a special fabric and favorite scent. All products in the cottage are designed with a country character reminiscent of a visit to Grandmums Cottage.

Recently relocated to the Everett/Mukilteo area, Taterberry Cottage has added more nostalgic products. Little Girls Pearls, Sweetheart Rice Patties, Fabric Coasters, and Hudsons favorite, Pearls Girls Dolls. I so enjoy creating The Pearls Girls fabric dollies knowing Im making a childs special friend, Hudson said. She recalls the excitement and joy of her own childhood doll, now passed on to her daughter. She takes my doll everywhere and shares with it her most secret thoughts, she smiled. The Pearls Girls Dolls are lovingly made to foster similar memories for other little girls.
