Vendor Spotlight Weekend: Adornment

With only 12 days away from the Big Event, we're highlighting all our Boutique Market vendors this weekend! Woot woot! First up, Adornment {vintage in bloom}

Adornment is ran by the Lovely Lindsee


My name is Lindsee: creator, bookkeeper, happy wife, and mother of 2 year old twins. I guess you could say I am addicted to creating. After trying almost every craft out there, I have settled down and realized that I love fabric flowers because they are so versatile. I have put them on shirts, jackets, headbands, lamps, curtains, purses, etc. They can dress up or down outfits, add some color, and make my messy bun look like I put forth some kind of effort (best trick ever). I have been making and selling these blooms since 2003 and my designs keep evolving with the times.
 
My shop, Adornment, is where I mainly sell my items. All of my blooms are made with vintage materials, which is what makes Adornment unique. Each bloom is inspired and created from an extensive (and I mean, ex-ten-sive...) collection of vintage lace, fabrics, and jewelry making each one all it's own. I have made a conscious effort to keep my prices affordable. My standard is if I wouldn't pay it, then I won't charge it.
 
Adornment sells blooms and bows for women and the little gals. Recently, Adornment has added bow ties for the little guys to it's repertoire. Little boys need love too.





We can't wait to see what Lindsee has in store for us at the Boutique Market!

Contributor Feature: Maggie Anderson


Maggie Anderson is a native of Poland, who has also lived in Germany, California, and Connecticut. English is her third language after Polish and German. Having lived in Arizona for the last 20 years, her love of the valley only starts to dwindle towards those last unbearable summer months of August and September. 

Initially a Psychology major, Maggie attended the American Institute of Interior Design, shortly after she realized her passion for creating; and grew an appreciation for textiles, architecture, and beautiful spaces. Not long after graduating she started an interior design business. Her work has been featured in various valley magazines and on the teen version of the hit show “MTV Cribs”. When she had even bigger plans of combining real estate with her design expertise, she started what is now her current interior design firm “Within Spaces” and received her Real Estate License. This wonderful marriage of careers allows her to help clients find their dream homes while also sharing her design expertise. A busy realtor for HomeSmart, she prides herself in helping her clients achieve a “change in lifestyle. “
  
Maggie’s favorite things to do is spend silly time with her two loves, her precious son Aiden who will be one in October, and her dashing and loving husband Shawn. She also enjoys hiking, trying new restaurants and food, and of course as much design as possible. 

Maggie will be there to answer all of your real estate questions at the hello there! house home & garden event’s Real Estate Forum: Bang For Your Buck.
