Connie grew up a gymnast, journalist, and motorcycle enthusiast on 25 acres in the community of Ferndale, WA. The youngest of six in a place where everyone knew all about the misdeeds of the Urquhart family going back generations, she split for Seattle at 18 and vowed never to live in a small town again.

Kary is originally from Iowa and lived in North Carolina and Missouri before deciding to move to the PNW with her husband and three children to be closer to family. When trying to find a house, they looked at a lot of different areas around the Vancouver area, but nothing felt right. On a whim, they decided to look at Camas and fell in love with the town and all it had to offer.

When Carnita isn’t chasing after her 4 year old son and two fur babies she’s reading and sharing her journey on Instagram, baking for her loved ones and spending time with family.

She loves learning new things and you can often find her collecting crafting materials, teaching herself how to use them, and creating a few pieces before moving on to her next artistic adventure. She’s taught herself how to knit, crochet, hand stitch embroidery and much more!

Danielle grew up in Massachusetts and moved to California for her college years. Her first job was working for her mom’s small wholesale flower company when she was 10 years old. She’s been a librarian since 2009, working in Paradise, California, before moving to Rapid City, South Dakota, to move into library management. She always loved the PNW, so the goal was to move back to this area and Washington was where she set her heart upon. She couldn’t have asked for a better place to settle.
