Christmas at the Mansion

Last weekend was Milford's Lauralton Hall's Annual "Christmas at the Mansion." They transform this old girl's school into a winter wonderland replete with white paper bag votives lining the exterior pathways. The event is a fund-raiser for a $100,000 scholarship for a deserving young girl- a worthy cause, indeed. Go girls. It was a 3-day event where we got to meet some peeps in our neighborhood. So often we traipse about the country side attending these kinds of vending events, so it was a nice change to be in our own backyard. As usual at these events, we meet som many wonderful vendors. This time was no different, we met Christine of GoGirlWrapperz. Chris and her partner Elvis make skirts for the girl on the go! Their motto is "Stay Strong....Stay Warm." The idea came about because Kris, a yoga enthusiast, wanted an alternative to sweatpants. She designed her skirts to be both warm (made from fleece) and nice enough to go out in afterwards. Next year Chris says that her line will include organic fabrics and more PET fleece. All her skirts are made in CT- yay! We took a couple minutes to talk to Kris. See what she had to say below.
