Nordblom Company is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest popup retailer, Plaid Pine Designs, at their popular retail, dining and entertainment destination, 3rd Ave. Plaid Pine Designs creates high quality, functional children's clothing, while putting sustainability at the forefront.
Founded by Micaela Johnson, a self-taught sewer with a deep love for creating cherished heirloom pieces, Plaid Pine Designs utilizes organic, eco-conscious and non-toxic materials carefully designed and sourced from small businesses.
