Liz Garrett started in the design business making crepe paper dresses at the age of six. Liz would sneak past her mother to go to school wearing her proud creation and ultimately her mother would run after her and stop her from going to school in a paper dress. She couldn't understand why her mother wouldn't let her wear her beautiful creation.

Liz kept designing clothes for her dolls and eventually began designing clothes and prom dresses for her friends in high school.

Early in Liz's career she opened a custom clothing store on Balboa Island, California, called "The Yellow Brick Road".

Through business contacts Liz met up with the reknown interior designer, Helen Shepardson who became her mentor. Helen taught Liz how to make beautiful, high-quality pillows and accessories for the home.

While living in Newport Beach, California, Liz met Mamie Van Doren and ended up designing stage clothes and personal clothes for her. She made the suit that Mamie wore on a Fantasy Island episode and they remain good friends today.

Liz has done home design for Diane Keaton, Judith Krantz, and while working for the company "Painted Lady" she worked on projects for Ali Mcgraw, Martin Short and Pierce Brosnan and her work has been featured in "House and Garden", "Country Home" and "Traditional Home."

Liz has always enjoyed collecting vintage fabrics, buttons, and jewelry and making unique gifts for friends. As more people saw these unique designs they became more in demand and Liz decided to start her own unique gift business.

Currently, Liz has a soft home furnishing and design business that specializes in upholstery slipcovers, draperies, pillows, bedding, etc. Take advantage of one of these unique one-of-a-kind gifts designed by Liz Garrett.
