Scarlett Siegmund always wanted to start her own
business. She just didn’t think it would
take 77 years. She was born in New York
City and lived in New York State her whole life. In 2017, she moved to Indiana to be with her
daughter Mary and son-in-law Ben.
Scarlett said she didn’t want to sit around the house all
day while Mary and Ben worked at nearby Crane, IN. She wanted to keep busy running her own business
and selling her hand-made crocheted blankets.
So Mary and Ben bought a house to help fulfill her life-long dream.
A green house in Bloomfield off the main highway. Emerald-colored, hence the name Emerald
Emporium. You think the house should
have been red for Scarlett.
When she’s not at the house, you can find Scarlett at the
various Flea Markets, Bazaars and Craft Fairs around Indiana. She sells mainly her handmade items: crocheted blankets, scarves and hats. Scarlett has also been an Avon representative
for 50 years and she can get great deals on Avon products.
Mary sells her handmade Polymer Clay jewelry and handmade crystal jewelry. She specializes in Steampunk style. Steampunk is a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction. Think Mary Shelley and H.G. Wells meets the 21st century.
