Ciaran Blumenfeld

Ciaran is a writer, a designer, and an avid shopper. When she is not writing bios with the line “when she is not…” in them, she is found hard at work managing her children’s clothing line Francie Pants, an endeavor that started out handmade, in her very own garage.

Though she has little time left to craft fabulous items for her four children (aged 1-13) these days, Ciaran always finds time to browse the web for handmade goods. Her past experience as a one woman shop, producing her mostly handmade line Little Lubbaloo, has given her a lifelong love and appreciation for those intrepid and wonderful craftspeople who make things one at a time. Handmade items are truly the most cherished in her home. It is her current goal to crochet her youngest child a set of amigurumi animals before he starts college.

Ciaran’s further shopping victories can be found on Popshopology where she serves up daily doses of retail therapy for all.
