About Angela
Hello there!
Welcome to Angela’s world of whimsical wonder, fanciful fantasy, and serendipitous surprises!
I’m Angela and this is my Crafty Atelier. Atelier (Ah-till-e-a) is French for “studio” which I thought was fitting as I loved French in my early years. I received my first doll—Esmeralda— in the 90’s as a gift from my parents. As an adult, I found my love of dolls and creativity went hand in hand, especially since I could personalize them. My passion for creating customized dolls and magical creatures grew into a business that I love. In turn, I love sharing my creations with everyone.
I’m an imaginative soul who loves to create the quirky and unusual. Focusing on my creative side brings me endless joy, and when I meet someone who is just as thrilled with one of my creations, I’m downright gleeful.
When the everyday and ordinary just won’t do, browse through my selections, and I’m sure you’ll find that unique piece that puts a sparkle in your eye.
For a glimpse into the variety of my creations, please view my photos and visit me (and my hubby helper) at my next event.

Origin Story of the Quari-Quties™
In a far-off land, an Archdruid named Alawen Moonpetal walked the Misty Moon Forest alone. Soon she came across a small quarry in the middle of a clearing, cloaked in various kinds of ground cover such as boulders, pebbles, tree stumps, logs, and a plethora of other seemingly dormant things.
The magical place was called Quartz Meadow, and she decided to make her home there. First, she wanted to clean up the meadow with all these natural fragments, so she decided to give them life. She took a small pouch from her belt, opened it, and gazed inside at all her treasures.
Around she went, giving a piece of her treasure to certain quarry features and waving her hand over others. As she did so, the Quari-Quties™ came to life. The Quari-Quties™ were tasked with a most important mission, that of spreading kindness and positivity wherever they go.
Even today, they protect against negativity and bring a smile to those who truly need it. They are each unique, one-of-a-kind, and handcrafted by the magic of the Archdruid. A word of caution though: they do have very different personalities, so please choose wisely.
As Alawen Moonpetal moved through the Misty Moon Forest she heard a small, soft, trilling sound coming from the bushes surrounding a particularly tall tree. Rustling began from one side of the bush and grew to a sound only made possibly by a blustery day, but the wind lay silent. The next moment popped out a short fuzzy creature, then another and another. Standing before the Archdruid golems of different colors and looks, some with ears, some decorated with flowers or moss. Alawen decided to make these golems Guardians of the Quartz Meadow. Each with their own look, their own name, and how they can help YOU! They are here to safeguard your well-being, so choose carefully!
