Best known to most of us as the office-bound tattooed rocker-chick foil
to traveling antique dealers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz on the History
Channel's "American Pickers," Danielle Colby-Cushman also pursues interests ranging from roller derby and burlesque to painting and fashion design.
For the latter, she has opened her own boutique, 4 Miles 2 Memphis,
next door to the "Pickers" business, Antique Archaeology in LeClaire,
Iowa. Those who can't make it up to the Quad Cities to check out
Colby-Cushman's designs in person now can shop on her Etsy page. From the opening announcement:
4 Miles 2 memphis is the home of artful inspired green designs. Danielle has a passion for upcycling the vintage using whatever materials she can get her little hands on, going so far as to recycle plastic shopping bags and the like into sturdy textiles! The utmost care and attention to detail is taken in the making of your irresistable purchases. Many "4 Miles 2 Memphis" items are made with upcycled silk, satin, teffeta, lace etc. As well as the use of raw edges for a look that is both edgy and femenin. In light of this detail, please dryclean or spot clean only! Thank you for supporting our handmade movement.
