Hello and welcome to booth 273!

We are proud to be featured in the October Ashland Artisan Emporium news! My name is Kellie and I’m a registered nurse at our local hospital, as well as a mom of three children ages 11, 13 and 17. Oh, and you can’t know me without knowing about my 11 black cats. I’ve traveled all over and came back to Ashland, where I was born and raised. My ultimate goal in the next two years is to open a cozy shop in downtown Ashland that will be like nothing else you’ve experienced here. In the meantime, you can get a taste of my style at the Ashland Emporium, boutique 273! Here you will experience a gothic, dark academia, metaphysical, and slightly witchy aesthetic. Visit us and you are sure to find your own unique piece (or 2) that will be in that corner, nook, bookcase, altar space, or bedside table that will bring you joy and perhaps a little magic too. We also refinish furniture to provide that same aesthetic! If you like a spooky vibe during the Halloween season, you’ll want to stop in and check out some of the items we will carry year-round, such as witch hats, candles, crystals, sage, besoms, spooky art, and much more! I will thank you ahead of time for your support. So be it so it is.

Ashland Artisan Emporium

The Ashland Artisan Emporium is owned by Michelle Christian, wife and mother of 3 daughters. Her husband, Travis, is the business manager for Adroit Construction in Ashland, Oregon. The Emporium was the vision of Michael Rydbom, Michelle's father. In April of 2010, Michael asked his daughter if she would be willing to help transform the old DJ's Video space into a crafter's marketplace. Michelle had always admired her dad's entrepreneurial spirit and was eager to make him proud, so even though she already had two kids, a real estate career and one more daughter on the way, she said yes. On November 1, 2010, the store opened it's doors to a welcome reception from the community. They were voted Best New Business of 2010 only months later by the Ashland Sneak Preview. Within weeks of opening, the store was at capacity and had quickly become the "go-to" store for all things unique and affordable.
