About us

The titular S.S. Hideaway. Left to right: Audrey, Hannah Mo, Montana, Hannah Mc, Claire

Testimonials:

Audrey

"House spearheader and artist-in-residence, Audrey does everything from keep track of our rent to planning funtivities." -Montana

"Audrey Lopata does not rhyme, but this is more than made up for by her close association with bananas. Audrey is a militant Bananarchist, and has actually written a coloring book that does rhyme, now that I think about it. Inventor of the Pizza Lentil™." -Hannah Mc

"Audrey and I share a room. So far we haven't engaged in warfare even though I leave the light on until 2 am sometimes. It's really fun to listen to her tell a story because the way she describes things is whimsical and new. Rather than relying on existing figures of speech, she tends to create her own." -Claire

"So I have this roommate named Audrey. She's one of the most spectacular people I know. She is the reason I moved into Hideaway house. She is a true bohemian, lover of Jesus, and a spectacular artist as well. You should get to know her too!" -Hannah Mo


Hannah Mo
As I sit here in a melodramatic mood I think of myself as Mother Goose. People have heard of me, but no one seems to know my story. I think I'm a bit of a mundane mystery and another of the introverted ghosts living in this house. I love living in such a wonderful, hidden house as ours.

"Hannah is the most extroverted and bubbly person at Hideaway. Her laugh is contagious." -Montana

"Hannah Moore is a person who is also named Hannah, which is a very good name. Referring to oneself in the plural is fun. Here are some facts about Hannahs:
Hannahs like Christmas.
Hannahs do not like pants.
Hannahs like warm hugs and big scarves.
Hannahs really, really like Christmas. Hannahs cannot overstate this fact."
-Hannah Mc

"Heartful Hannah is the name of this Hannah in my phone. She likes owls and pretty things and floods the tupperware drawer with Snap Kitchen containers (but somehow only the bottom pieces). She put some succulents in the window above the kitchen sink and I gaze at them gratefully every. single. day." -Claire


Montana
Future children's librarian and general lover of story, Montana spends her free time enabling her addictions to reading, Netflix and chocolate.

"Montana Rindahl. It's almost like a naturally occurring mnemonic device. Montana is a firm believer in No Talking During Movies. This probably has something to do with being a librarian. Maybe. Montana would not win the Hunger Games because I would distract her with baby stingrays." -Hannah Mc

"If I were to compare Montana to a work of literature, it would be The Butter Battle by Dr. Seuss. She is so very passionate about every single thing, she could definitely start a war over the correct way to butter one's bread. Her autobiography is called Not About That Life. Our eating habits are almost completely incompatible. I fear Montana, but I also like her." -Claire

"Montana is made of sterner stuff than most introverts. She almost always has her nose in a book as well. She will be an amazing librarian, able to shhhhh with the best of them.  Also Montana is a very loyal friend. She goes to bat for the people in her life and truly cares about them." -Hannah Mo


Hannah Mc
I am Hannah, comma, McIlheran, and my name is not on the mail slot but the government has found me anyway. "Often demonstrates a flagrant disregard for proper use of punctuation."

"Passionate reader and conversationalist, Hannah is the other pea to my pod and always up for discussing food, books, memes, feminism or literally anything on the planet." -Montana

"Hipster Hannah is a great person to talk to when you have an idea and you want three other auxilary ideas. Together our wacky imaginations are unstoppable. The other half of the time her train of thought goes on the "you know?" line and i just keep silent because i don't know. I don't know anything. I got lost 3 stations back and the train's not stopping. send help" -Claire

"Hannah is a whimsical ball of fluff with the brains of an engineer and the spirit of a philosopher. She's willing to take on any problem, no matter how difficult and never seems to back down from a good cooking experiment." -Hannah Mo


Claire
I'm a noodle and I love art very much. I could talk about myself forever so I'm going to stop here.

"Claire is Hideaway's resident minimalist and house organizer. From handmade labels to her own artwork, every room in the house has a bit of Claire's personal touch." -Montana

"Claire Lathem, aka E Claire, aka Manga Pasta, has one name that rhymes with itself and one that is a pastry, and also spends a lot of time in cahoots with bananas. I think that counts. Claire collects fall leaves, raindrops, and sad thoughts. The cold doesn't bother her anyway." -Hannah Mc

"Claire is a true silent mastermind. She seems to understand life at a deeper level than most people and yet her art has such a wonderful quality of playfulness. I look forward to watching where her life goes." -Hannah Mo
