Madeline and Dawson Ellis—owners of jewelry company Mimosa Handcrafted—dreamed of staging a trunk show featuring a few friends and local craft makers to better sell their wares before Christmas last year. But the demand to see the artisonal goods soon outgrew their space at home. The Ellis’ moved the event to Mid City on the corner of Eugene and Government Streets.
