Artist Preview - Amy Olson Ballard

We just received our newest vendors jewelry today. I am so thrilled to introduce to you, Amy Olson Jewelry. Her lovely pieces compliment the clothes and just the whole feel of the store so well.

For as long as she can remember, Amy has been interested in anything that she can craft. Mostly self-taught, though she has taken a few basic classes in wirework (having had the great fortune to work for Mark and Viki Lareau in Tacoma, WA, who gave me my first set of tools for Christmas). Amy credits her grandmother for all of her skills, “She is my inspiration.” She was the one who got Amy crafting as a young girl and is a gifted crafts person herself!


Amy Olson Jewelry is made of the finest materials, including fine and heavy gauge sterling silver, 14kt GF components and semi-precious gemstones.

“I hope you enjoy what you see, for I truly enjoy making it!”


You can also view a recent interview she did with the lovely ladies of DIY Alert.
Amy will also be set up in front of the store, along with the rest of our new vendors today for First Thursday and in celebration of our stores one year Birthday Party!!!
