My grandmother Elizabeth Katherine Logsdon was an amazing embroiderer and I was always so inspired by the things she would make by hand. She would sew elegant dresses for little girls and volunteer at charity clothing drives where she would sneak one into each girl's bag without telling anyone.
My grandmother died when I was 12 but her style and appreciation for fashion always has made a huge impression on me. I have since figured out my own charity work of saving bears from being face down at thrift stores and giving them new lives...along with giving broken down louis vuitton and gucci bags a new way to be loved. This is why they are the EKL bear army in honor of her....
