The Hinsdale resident opened her Curated by Amy Scott business Tuesday, April 16 at 2 S. Prospect Ave., in downtown Clarendon Hills, taking over a storefront that has been vacant since Quinn’s Coffee House closed on Dec. 31, 2016. That closing ended a run of 30-plus years in business for the Quinns.“I’m blown away by the community support,” she said.
“I love to be green by reusing items. I’d rather fix something, paint an item or find a new way to use something that otherwise would end up in the trash.” “I also have fabrics, if anyone needs to recover furniture, and can create custom pillows,” she said. “I’m hoping to be a resource to my customers. I’m also planning to highlight local artists. I’m a budding artist myself and have some of my own art for sale in the store. I’m planning to expand what I sell, and I’ll also be hosting workshops of all kinds.”
“I was up for a challenge,” Scott said. “I could see the space had potential without doing a major renovation. I appreciate and love the character and history. My husband and I looked at multiple locations, but knew I wanted to be at this location.”
