New Gift Shop in the Heart of Middletown

Monarch Designs: A Small Shop for Crafts & Community

What started as a simple crafting business has quickly grown into something much more for Kelsey Singer. Monarch Designs began in 2019 out of a spare bedroom of her apartment, specializing in hand crafted porch signs, dog bandanas, t-shirts, and custom wedding gifts. Over the years, Kelsey outgrew multiple spaces for her small business and has now opened the doors to her new brick and mortar on Central Avenue in Middletown.
