With Caye Shoals, I present thoughtfully–made garments that blend the romance of style with the funk of individuality. I adore all things madcap and prefer one–of–a–kind anything. I'm not above what was gently loved, and have found many a treasure in thrift and consignment stores.

Born in sunny California, to a musician and a designer, I spent my early years immersed in creativity. As a whole, my family includes past and present models, artists, and entrepreneurs. Thus, I was graced with unimaginable opportunities and found my spirit in fashion and the creation of beautiful, yet "spicy" garments. My pride lies in pieces made by hand, with passion and pain. Sometimes I have to do things over to get it right. Sometimes it's just not going to work, and I have a new addition to my salvage pile. In the end, I just want to be happy with each piece. So, I work diligently to that end.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I appreciate even the minutest interest, as it validates that my love for this isn't absurd. I admit I'm not much for blogging, but if you're interested, you can read my mind at www.cayeshoals.blogspot.com. Mostly just momentary rants about this stuff: picasaweb.google.com/CayeShoals.
