Owner and musician Tret Fure said the store's name is derived from a song she wrote that her fans embrace and cherish as an expression of self- determination. "It's a song that a lot of women related to because it's about growing up as a tomboy," Fure said. "Only, I like the concept of the tomboy girl because a lot of tomboys are (also) girls. They relate as being anything you want to be these days."

However, Karin Collins from Spoonfed Art some how managed to do just that. When looking at her web site, I couldn't help be be struck by two things - her jewelry and her story. To have an even better appreciation for her jewelry, her story is important, and one that I think many women can relate too: In January 2004, after a few major life changes, Karin decided to leave her job to pursue a more fulfilling career. Just prior to resigning, Karin had begun fashioning pendants out of spoons as a means of therapy for an eating disorder. "It was the first time I had allowed myself a real creative outlet and it made life better.
