Hi - I'm Kelly (or Prudence if you like). I live in Whitefish, Montana and have a small brick and mortar shop here called Circus Angel, where I sew, draw and sell pretty clothes by independent designers and carry smaller clothing lines, handmade and a bit of vintage. I'm also a dollmaker - you can find my Waldorf-esque dolls here in my Etsy shop.
Other than sewing and having a multitude of lovely children of whom I do my best to dote on; I love to travel, cook delicious meals and decadent sweets, read lyrical novels by women authors, eat sushi and drink cocktails and go dancing with my beau, wear clothing in multiple layers and aprons on any occasion, grow flowers and sit with them in the sunshine, and spend way too much time on Pinterest. I also have a fun, though sometimes neglected blog!

Another spring day
or...
Gardening with Boris
The zinnias, asters and cucumbers are already sprouted.
The strawberries have been transplanted to the perennial bed, and Truffle is resting in between bulbs I unearthed in the overgrown grass, raspberry shoots, and yes, a huge fake fern.
A few of the modge podge garden beds that already have little cool season seeds sprouting up (among the Boris, Truffle and bunny paw prints.) Time to put up the fence!
A self portrait of me and my happy shadow. And an eye shot - sort of.
And... blood orange soda float for lunch!

April 20, 2012
I knew it would start raining like this - it always does. But the ground had been soft and dry enough to work for the past couple weeks and so during the sunny days the kids and I went ahead and planted radishes, beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, green onions, chives, peas, sweet peas, poppies, candytuft and clarkia out in the garden. Now it's wet and cold, but there are little sprouts popping up from many of our 1 to 5 year old seed packs. I'm not sure if it's a benefit to plant them so early, or if the cold wet will stunt them or require us to re-plant. Either way it was a nice way to spend the sunny days.
At the shop - the beginnings of my perennial garden from last summer are making their debut. The lavender is getting green, the delphinium, and the phlox (which I'll have to move because of the deer) are poking through, and the mint is already happily growing of course, along with a few others that I don't yet remember what they were.
On another note, we have a bunch of new spring dresses coming in to the shop this week and a slight spring change in the hours.
Spring hours (effective through the first week of June):
Weds and Thurs: 12 - 4pm; Fri and Sat: 12 - 8pm
Closed Sun/Mon/Tues
