Bargain Hunting

Amelia is a line of clothing inspired by special objects and the memories those objects bring to mind. I like to imagine walking through a long lost aunt’s attic and discovering a great big trunk full of beautiful dresses. The dresses that were worn during first dates, best friend’s birthday parties, summer picnics, and once in a lifetime galas. They’re lovely, full of memories and nostalgia, and ready to be worn by you while you make your own treasured memories!

What’s the price?

I’m excited to find homes for the holiday dresses and even some late summer sundresses. I’ll be bringing both last season and some current season dresses just to free up some room in my studio. Everything will be 30-70% off. Seriously amazing discounts but limited sizing of some styles, so get there early!

What’s the price?

I’m excited about two things, actually! One is the world premier of my pillow sized stuffed owls, which are large enough to be used for home decor. I’m also excited about the return of my stuffed elephants, who have been on hiatus for several years but are emerging from hibernation just in time for Bargain Hunting. These unique items are going to be marked down 20% along with the rest of the things at my booth, so they’ll only cost $40 and $28 respectively (regularly $50 and $35).

I’m inspired by my mom, who is also a crafter and will be sharing a booth with me. She inspires me to maintain a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship in all my work because her standards are so high!
