Embroidery, jewelry and more
April Allen recently rebranded her online business as The Artful Apricot. Allen sells embroidered art, right in the hoop, embroidered clothing, beach glass art and jewelry, and she can spiff up pretty much any piece of clothing you own.
Everything is handmade by Allen, so she can custom-make something for you, and everything is done right here in Peterborough.
The Artful Apricot rebrand triggered not only a new name, but a logo and website, which you can check out at artfulapricot.square.site or you’ll find them on Facebook and Instagram.
