Our story
In the fall of 2014 I became an empty-nester when our youngest child left home for college and my mind was consumed with what this new stage of life was going to look like. I set two goals for myself: to spend time doing work that made a difference, and for that work to provide a creative outlet for me. I had no idea how all of this would evolve until my husband decided to clean out his
closets one day and I discovered my new favorite piece of clothing in his give-away pile..an oversized black fleece piece! One day not long after, I looked down at my lovely fleece and thought,…“I’ve got to find something more attractive than this to wear all the time.” That thought led to, “This is it!...my creative business venture!”….and birdchip and the popover were what evolved. The building of this business from that initial idea forward has become a fun endeavor not just for me, but for our entire family. We have used this experience to research, learn, and experiment with what it takes to get an idea from that initial spark, through production, and out in to the world. The popover was the first piece in this collection of clothing that is inspired by things we have in our closets that we want to wear all the time…things that are stylishly comfortable and can take you from winding down to all around town. In relaunching in the fall of 2020, we have added two family members to our birdchirp team, and have expanded to now share with you a collection of created, discovered and reimagined gifts and home goods we love in lost and found.
