Catfish & Tater Boutique

I am Heather Chaney, owner of Catfish + Tater Boutique.  Here is a little info about our shop + how we got started.  I love what I do and am so excited to be on this journey.
Enjoy!
 
Catfish + Tater was born in October 2007 after 8 years of working in the corporate world, when I decided to leave for a NEW ADVENTURE. I was making One of Kind leather handbags, hand-appliqued apparel & baby goods at the beginning of my Journey.  My Husband, Tate, was the artistic genius that drew all my designs & I did all the sewing.  
 
Next on the agenda was to come up with a name......Hmmm. I wanted something different that people would remember.  My older brother, Jay, actually came up with the name & I was a little confused at first.  Everyone always called my husband "Tater", so I understood that part.  It was at that point that I found out that my dad wanted to name me "Catfish." So - "Catfish + Tater" it was!  Thanks to my brother for the unique name that EVERYONE can remember.  Crazy + Catchy!  Ha Ha.
 
After a year of creating I had a retail opportunity that came my way.  It was always my DREAM to have a little retail shop, so I decided to take the leap and the rest is history.  I must admit that one of my favorite things is Interior Design.  Our shops have always been on the "interesting side", and I love to change things up & re-decorate when I get the chance. We have grown so much since that first space back in 2008.  We've moved & remodeled 4 different retail locations, had a baby (who is now 6 years old), built 2 homes, renovated 3 homes & moved twice since that time.  We are always busy with projects but love taking on those challenges.
