Hi there, my name is Zoe, and I'm writing to you from my farmhouse studio in New Hampshire. I've always found myself inspired by the NH landscape- gardens, mountains, and the little stream in my backyard. When spring comes, I admire the gardens blooming, the vegetables growing, and the density of the forest all green.
Through my work I'd like to create a feeling of eternal spring. When you put on a garment you are wrapped in a rose garden or maybe hand-painted flowers adorn the rim of your sunhat. I've always found that beauty is important in my work and what can be more beautiful than watching everything grow back from the cold winter here in New England.
The 1860 built home that I live in has inspired me to embrace history. I carefully source vintage textiles and second hand materials to create unique one of a kind garments and accessories. I have an appreciation for homemade quilts and beautifully hand embroidered linens. With each cut I make to create a garment, I think of the hard work, talent, and love that went into each piece. One that now is given a new life outside of the linen closet.
When I sit in my studio I think about the many different families that once lived here, they too looked out the same window at the same moon.
Made with love,
Zoe / Farm and the Moon
