what i can't live without: the frances flat
"My 6-year-old daughter, Frances, LOVES the shoes I got her several years ago. She wears them all the time. They come in navy, gray and green, but her favorite is the gold. We now carry them at our stores; I named them the Frances flat. --Jane, owner of children's boutiques, catalog and website, Flora and Henri.
On Frances's (amazing) bedroom shelves: Wooden sailor skittles and sailor bank from flora and henri. Kitten and terrier by mohair toymaker Steiff. Hello Kitty calendar from Sanrio; the tin wind-up toy from Seattle's Magic Mouse Toys, and wooden elephant from Turpan. Frances is wearing a lace blouse and cords, available at Flora and Henri. Says Jane, "The giraffe drawing was by an old friend and neighbor, Mentor Giles. Mentor would often visit our Seattle office and sit down to draw. We liked this giraffe drawing so much, it became a T-shirt design in our 2004 fall/winter season. Mentor died a year ago, and our work isn't the same without him. He was a big Audrey Hepburn fan and encouraged us to live like ladies."
