Wiggle & Scoot

We've talked to Emily Savage Warke of Wiggle & Scoot before, but this is a fantastic local vendor who does a lot of our personalization/embroidery, so let's give a little more info about her business! (Don't forget that because these items are locally handmade, we may have different items in stock at different times - so come on in and take a look!)

In 2006, as a stay at home mom of a toddler, Emily wanted to start a business she could do from home. Her son, Wells, was her first "client" - she loved having his initials or name on pretty much anything! She began making custom fabric bibs and burp cloths for Wells and his friends, personalized with their names.

She received so many compliments on them, she decided the bibs and burp cloths would be the basis for her home embroidering business. But what to call it? Well, when her son was first learning to crawl, he'd "wiggle and scoot" across the floor... thus Wiggle+Scoot was born!

Six plus years later, she still enjoys making and monogramming bibs and burp cloths for babies, even though her own are far past the baby stage!

Bibs and burps usually reside in the stand near our desk!
