Tucked into a cozy corner of the local shopping center, Crafted Wonders celebrated its one-year anniversary in April 2025, and has quickly become a hub for handmade gifts, custom creations, and community spirit.

Owner and founder Tiffany Newman, inspired by years of sewing, crocheting, and creating, followed a dream that began with a humble Cricut machine and turned it into something truly special. She first discovered her love of crafting as a child, learning to crochet, embroider, cross-stitch, and sew alongside her Granny. Over the years, she put those skills to use in her home—making curtains, pillowcases, handmade gifts, and even over 200 face masks during the height of COVID. But everything changed when she found a Cricut for sale on Facebook. Though it sat on her desk for two months, once she finally tried it, she became obsessed—labeling everything in her kitchen and even making decals for her vehicles and golf cart. Soon, friends and family began requesting custom items, and before long, people were paying for her creations. That unexpected momentum gave her the confidence to chase her dream full time. With the support of her husband, she opened Crafted Wonders in April 2024. Her mission? To provide not just a shop, but a home for crafters like herself—and she’s done just that. One year later, the shop proudly represents 21 talented vendors and continues to grow as both a creative marketplace and a vibrant community.
