V-V-V-V E R V E !

One week ago today, Kristin Thompson, of Vashon Verve came by for a peek at the JoeysCoat collection.  Kristin writes a blog, vashonverve.com, in which she shares events, sightings, and experiences she thinks are special about Vashon Island (I paraphrase!).  After our visit we went to see Dana in her studio.  There Kristin got to witness artistry at work...
