Amanda spends her days communicating with vendors and searching for new handmade goodies to stock the shelves. And making payments. And interviewing and hiring people. And organizing the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange. All the things. She does them, with the help of her amazing staff. Previously an elementary school art teacher, and a photographer by trade, Amanda was a vendor at an early Renegade Craft Fair selling Polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts.

Emily is our master at organization and systems and without her our shop would be a hot mess express. There is nothing she won’t label and everything is left better than it originally was. She is currently running two roles and both are integral to our success! Even though she’s behind the scenes, her passion for our vendors is definitely at the forefront!

She’s usually the face you see behind the counter when you first come into the shop! Emily is half of our two part squad of Emily’s, without them we can’t, we just can’t and we won’t!! Emily keeps the store displays rotating with new inventory and helps our team of high schoolers or as she calls them “my kids,” in the know of our ever evolving eclectic and exciting shop items!

Kris, a Syracuse, NY transplant, comes to us by way of many retail roads, having worked for both Tommy Hilfiger and Red Bull in the past, she now calls Indy home and Homespun also home…spun? Insert comic relief here. Kris loves her rescue pup Rufus, and when she’s not in the shop can most likely be found walking or snuggling him and his floppy ears!
