Allison Clarke

Allison Clarke creates delicate compositions of entangled images, inspired by nature and her own imagination.  Allison's obsession with paper cutting has grown into a collection which includes her unique framed paper cuttings, paper cut letters, handmade cards, and baby wall art.  Each piece is hand cut and one of a kind.









Allison describes her artwork as intricate and soft.  She goes on to explain, "My art is influenced by the raw beauty all around us.  I use emotions, feelings, and actions I see or feel as an inspiration for my work.  I also find the quietness in nature and myself, and draw out the elements of life that go unnoticed."



Allison Clarke's unique framed paper cuttings, paper cut letters, handmade cards, and baby wall art are all available at Anchor No. 5 Boutique, and custom orders are available upon request.

FunCycled by John and Sarah





 Husband and wife team John and Sarah restore and revive the furniture that becomes part of FunCycled.  They started FunCycled because it was something they could do as a family that also incorporated upcycled products and unique designs.

For Troy Night Out and the month of August, Anchor No.5 will feature an Eden green upholstered chair with damask fabric and a matching painted table.  As well as a paprika red antique jury style chair with a modern floral fabric, and a matching paprika red and black chevron side table.

The designs maintain the charm of the original piece of furniture while adding contemporary design.  FunCycled not only has furniture pieces for sale, but will also find and customize furniture pieces for clients, as well as redesign pieces that people already own.

"We love working with clients to design furniture as focal points for each room." -Sarah

Join us in celebrating FunCycled this Friday for Troy Night Out at Anchor No.5 Boutique, and visit FunCylced.com for more info.

Oh, Sew Urban by Liz Urban



Oh, Sew Urban is a collection which conceptualized and has grown thanks to Anchor No.5 Boutique.  After discussing projects and the boutique with her co-worker Nadine Medina (NadineMedinaDesigns), Liz developed the idea for her Cloth Wine Bags.

"I started with the wine bags because I thought it was a great addition to an easy gift when you go to a party or around the holidays. Everything sort of grew from there. I love going into Anchor No. 5 to bounce ideas off of Petra because she has so much experience, and from those chat sessions the collection grew to include a lot of cute things for the house - placemats, coasters, napkins, etc."

Liz picked up sewing in college, but really got into it when she started the tradition of making her own dresses to wear to her company's Christmas parties.  This led her to sewing queen size quilts for each of her siblings and falling in the love with the craft.


Oh So Urban wine bags, placemats, coasters, and napkins are now available at Anchor No.5, and Liz is very excited to introduce her new collection of aprons.  All of her products come in fun colors and prints, making wonderful accents for your home.  All are 100% cotton, making them machine washable, and are made up of contrasting fabrics and colors, whether they're reversible like the placemats or coasters; or are two toned like the wine bags.

Liz has many projects in the works, and the enthusiasm to follow through on them.

"I have a laundry list of ideas to keep the home/kitchen line fresh with table runners and whatever else I can think of. "

Custom orders are available upon request.  That includes items sold at Anchor No.5 Boutique in custom patterns or colors, and quilts of any size.

Join us this Troy Night Out to celebrate the work of one of the newest members to the Anchor No.5 family, Liz Urban.
