About Aspen & Aura



At Aspen & Aura, we believe that handmade carries heart.

Every item tells a story of late-night creativity, too many cups of coffee, and makers who pour their soul into every detail.

Our marketplace was born from a love of local artistry and the belief that shopping small should feel personal, magical, and full of connection.

By shopping here, you’re not just buying a product, you’re supporting a local maker’s passion, a parent’s dream, a student’s craft, or a neighbor’s side hustle.

Each collection you see is thoughtfully curated to reflect what makes Northern Colorado - mountain charm, modern artistry, and a spark of everyday magic.

Whether you’re discovering your new favorite candle, handcrafted jewelry, or a cozy crochet friend, Aspen & Aura invites you to slow down, shop with intention, and celebrate the beauty of local love.

Because when you choose handmade, you don’t just take something home, you take a piece of someone’s story with you.

Hey, I'm Lindsey...

... designer, dreamer, and believer in the kind of magic that happens when people come together to create something beautiful.

Aspen & Aura was born from my love for local craftsmanship and my desire to build a space where makers could shine and shoppers could feel a genuine connection to the stories behind every product.

After years of helping small businesses grow their online presence through design and marketing, I saw firsthand how much heart goes into every handmade piece, and how often that heart gets lost in the noise of mass-produced retail.

I wanted to change that.

Aspen & Aura became a way to bridge the gap between artistry and accessibility, turning everyday shopping into something meaningful again.

This marketplace isn’t just my passion project, it’s a love letter to Northern Colorado and the people who make it special.

Every maker featured here has a story worth celebrating, and every customer who shops here becomes part of that story.

Together, we’re building something that feels personal, purposeful, and full of local love.

Our Founding Makers


Aspen & Aura wouldn’t exist without the incredible local makers who believed in this vision from the very beginning.


You are the heartbeat of this brand and the reason every collection feels alive, every shelf tells a story, and every package carries a little piece of home.

Our founding makers took a leap of faith, trusting this dream before the website even launched.


They brought color, creativity, and courage to the table, turning a simple idea into a living, breathing marketplace full of artistry and connection.

Each of them has inspired the way Aspen & Aura was built, from the warmth in our brand to the care in every detail.


Their passion reminds us why handmade matters and why community is worth investing in.

We’re so proud to introduce these talented artists and their creations - each one carefully crafted, locally rooted, and full of the same love that started it all.

TillyPad Studios

TillyPad Studios is a Denver-based art brand where nature and craftsmanship intertwine. I create nature-inspired jewelry, home goods, and art using materials like real dried flowers, abalone shell, and lab-grown opals — each piece designed to capture the beauty and wonder found in the natural world.

What began as a love for organic textures and storytelling has grown into a collection meant to inspire connection — between people, and with the earth itself. From resin pendants that preserve delicate botanicals to abalone bracelets that shimmer like ocean light, every design bridges natural elements with timeless, handcrafted design.

TillyPad Studios is about finding wonder in the details — and helping others gift a little piece of that wonder to someone they love.

Community Impact & Why Handmade Matters


Handmade is more than a product, it’s a movement.


When someone chooses handmade, they’re voting for creativity, sustainability, and human connection.


Every purchase through Aspen & Aura:


✨ Supports a local Colorado artisan.
