“The place is changed now, and many familiar faces are gone, but the greatest change is myself. I was a child then, I had no idea what the world would be like. I wished to trust myself on the waters and the sea. Everything was romantic in my imagination. The woods were peopled by the mysterious good folk. The Lords and Ladies of the last century walked with me along the overgrown paths, and picked the old fashioned flowers among the box and rose hedges of the garden”

-Beatrix Potter

Hi, I’m Cassandra!

I’m a Surface

Designer, Interior Designer and fellow creative spirit.

I’m the Mama to Lyra

+ Willow Wren.

I was raised in the east but dreams guided my spirit West to where my husband and I have found and made home in Bend, Oregon.

The energy of the Pacific Northwest, the beauty that surrounds us, the light in my children’s eyes, my Home in the forest. These are just a few of the sources of my bubbling spring of sweet, soul filling inspiration.

I grew up in an Upstate New York farmhouse built in 1792. I’m a small town girl from Red Hook, NY, a little town in the Hudson Valley, nestled beside the Hudson River. My story starts with my parents - creatives pursuing careers in the trades and craft. My mother is a seamstress and lifelong quilter, shown the ways of the needle by her Grandmother. My father is a Restoration Carpenter who learned the art of making old things new, and new old, from his father and the lessons taught by old barns, buildings and homes from another time. It was my childhood imagination, running wild as I sat below my mother’s sewing table, that eventually blossomed into a lifelong journey of creation. My 10 year career and professional background began with Interior Design. But with the changing seasons of life and in the dawn of early motherhood - oh those sleepless, wonderful days when your entire being and sense of all things shifts, something else started to click into place. I answered the call from my soul to return home to my grass roots - textiles, patterns and quilts.
