Why Little Ida?
People are asking, "Why the name Little Ida?".
Here's my answer:

-My mom had a good friend named Ida when I was a kid. She was in her 80s and incredibly creative and inspirational. She made jewelry, cards, dolls, and all kinds of things using materials ranging from vintage lace to cherry pits! It's nice that I still have some of her creations made so long ago, and that her name can live on through littleida.com!
