The sole proprietor of Fiddling Turtle Violins is Angela Truitt.  I live in Aloha Oregon on a small acreage and in addition to mending and selling fiddles enjoy a suburban farm garden surrounded by two cats, a dog and a small flock of heirloom breeds of geese.  I also moonlight doing elder homecare on the weekends so I'm not around the workshop those days.  I use to travel quite a bit and still like to close up the shop several times a year and wander away, usually to old-time fiddle festivals where you can find me dancing, playing or simply getting high off of Old Time fiddle music.
