About The Crafty Yankee

In 1994, I purchased The Crafty Yankee, a local artisan consignment shop that had been in Lexington, MA since 1980. The previous owners wanted to retire, but having developed a following of local customers, they wanted to find someone who could continue their legacy in the town. I was a new resident of Lexington, but not unaccustomed to running a retail business, having spent several years in senior positions at Dillard’s and Federated Department Stores. A marriage to a long-time friend and Lexington resident, Richard Fields, brought me happily back to New England again. My goal in changing lifestyles was to work in an environment that allowed time to give something back to those less fortunate. That opportunity was The Crafty Yankee where I could have my own business.

The Crafty Yankee offers New England gifts and handcrafts, distinctive jewelry and fashionable handbags. We also feature Vera Bradley and Brighton jewelry, accessories and leathergoods.
