Freshly Picked aka Susan Petersen started making baby moccasins in 2009 after becoming frustrated by the lack of well-designed baby shoes. Working at her kitchen table, on a shoestring budget, Susan persisted through some disastrous attempts until she had created a pair of moccasins that not only looked adorable on her little Gus’ chubby feet, but stayed on his feet as well. Since then Susan has created a mini-empire that works to not only keep the cutest shoes on kids’ feet, but also to empower and inspire women.
