Our Vision

We acknowledge that we wouldn't be here without the support of others. For this reason, we show our gratitude by working to create a collaborative community through supporting independent artists and makers and by paying it forward whenever we can. 

Karen Tardrew

Owner, Founder of Grasshopper Goods

Hi there,

I’m Karen, owner and founder of Grasshopper Goods. As most entrepreneurs do, I wear many hats. By day I’m a tenured associate professor at National-Louis University with an education doctorate in instructional leadership and I serve as past president and board member of the International Visual Literacy Association. And, by night and weekends (or any spare moment), I’m the dreamer behind the Grasshopper Goods truck, Stoughton boutique, and online store. I’ve always had a passion for visual imagery and art and admire the way it brings people together; Grasshopper Goods connects people from all walks of life to share memorable moments.

 

Grasshopper Goods started as a dream to "one day" open a boutique and was brought to life thanks to the encouragement and support of many people and a few visits from grasshoppers. I’m proud of the way Grasshopper Goods brings joy, community and support and encourages others to pursue their dreams. I encourage you to call on the grasshopper when you need a sense of adventure, inspiration, or wisdom in your life.

 

May the grasshopper always bring you glad tidings and joy! 

 — Karen
