john milton oliver

rosemary jayne grannis

rosie continues to feed her love of fashion by making her own clothing designs and commissioned work for her business “rosemary jayne design” (http://www.etsy.com/shop/rosemaryjayne). As a fashion designer Rosie understands that clothes are much more than protection from the elements. Clothing can make a person feel confident and beautiful, or it can be comforting and nostalgic. Clothing can be a personal artistic expression, a projection of the person you want the world to see with out saying a word.
