Crafty Yankee
About
Crafty Yankee is a gift shop in historic Lexington that showcases work by New England and American artisans alongside fair trade and responsibly sourced goods from small companies around the world. Its large jewelry and accessory selection spans traditional to contemporary styles, including sterling silver pieces. Shoppers come for hostess, wedding, graduation, baby shower, and appreciation gifts, as well as glass, pottery, candles, Spiritile art tiles, and Jellycat toys.
Three local craftswomen opened the shop in 1980 as an artisan and consignment store. When they retired in 1994, Lexington resident Kathy Fields took over and ran it for 26 years. In February 2021, the Robbins family, Bob, Melissa, Cooper, Madison, and Griffin, bought the business, aiming to keep supporting the community and celebrating craftspeople. An online store carries an ever-changing selection that complements the shop in town.
