The Wooden Button

"It all started as a love for fabric. "  That is one thing that shows in all of Audrey Joyce's work. Her fun and whimsical designs have a sense of love being made into each piece. "I love making things that bring joy to others..."

Audrey started her craft while living on the east coast only a short drive from Wrightsville Beach, only having moved to the Granite Falls area 3 years ago. Her family is a big part of her life and inspiration for you work.






"We couldn't afford much as kids so I began by making my own doll clothes. 
My family says I got my crafty gene from my great grandma Spooner. My Mom and Grandma made me cloths and my first pageant dress."  How her work ranges from plush owls to small bags and cup cozies. Each makes a bit of color in someones day.

Dee's Designs



                                                                                                    In 1986 Michael and Cornelia Allman open their Fine Jewelry Store in downtown Conover within the former Post Office Building. Over the years they found an opening in the market for more unique and affordable pieces. From this Dee's Designs was born. In 2009 Dee's Designs started offering jewelry handcrafted from vintage and estate jewelry, coins, and even flatware. Often these pieces of one of a kind wearable art are made with a special person in mind. Even spoons, forks and old coins become amazing treasures for someone that likes a personal touch while still affordable.
