Featured Artist- Melissa Ormonde



Meet Melissa Ormonde- The craft queen, reining from Arroyo Grande, California. She's an award-winning seamstress, and vintage artifacts collector; a truly inspiring combination! Whether she is arranging succulents, thrift store shopping, or sewing sheets into swing dancing dresses, her love and dedication to preserving the past is impressive! She is always finding creative ways to recycle and upcycle used fabric, and rescues pieces of the past from garage sales. She studied anthropology (no, not the clothing store) and spent 2 years in Tonga for the Peace Corps.
