Baltimore Brunch Spot

As our show season came to end for 2011, Rachel and I stopped in the Morning Edition cafe (corner of Fayette & Patterson Park Ave) for brunch for a Charms City Company brainstorming session!  This was our first time dining at this spot, even though we pass it often on our trips around the city.  Not only is the food amazing and reasonably priced, but the interior is so homey and cozy!  We'll be stopping in Morning Edition soon again:)

Happy Thanksgiving!  We'd like to thank all of our followers, fans, customers, fellow crafters, friends and family for your support!  This past year has been so eventful and exciting that we wanted to take a minute to say THANKS!  Have a great Thanksgiving and happy holiday shopping:)

REMINDER: Trunk Show Saturday, November 19

Trunk Show - November 19th 12-4 @ Hello Bluebird!

This coming Saturday, Rachel & I will be heading to West Reading, PA to display our wares at Hello Bluebird.

We met Alex, the store owner, at the October Clover Market.  We absolutely loved all of the wonderful things we saw at her booth and were super excited to find out that she was taking new jewelry vendors:)  We'll be premiering our full jewelry line from 12-4pm on Saturday, November 19th in the shop.  After that, you'll still be able to find our jewelry for sale there - just in time for holiday shopping:)  Come by and hang out with us!  The address is 609 Penn Avenue, West Reading, PA  19611.

Clover Market Recap

Vintage suitcases, barn wood picture frames, brass stencils, old game pieces, owl trivets, wire laundry baskets, old games pieces and numbers... these are just a sample of the things Rachel and I bought at the last 2 Clover Markets.  We participated in the October & November Clover Markets that were held in Ardmore, PA - just outside of Philly.  These are upscale vintage markets that are filled with beautiful things!  We had a great crowd and nice weather for both markets and we certainly shopped alot!

We've already turned some of our finds into new jewelry pieces -

I was lucky enough to score a small sky blue retro suitcase, that I'm using as a laptop case.  I think it's just fantastic:)

We are looking forward to returning to the Market in the spring for the 2012 season:)

Hello, Spring!

Things at Charms City Company have been super busy!  We're now selling in 12 stores and have packed our calendar with lots of shows and festivals!  We started our spring show season with the Federal Hill Festival, Fenton Street Market and the Chestnut Hill Home & Garden Show.  That meant that we were traveling from Baltimore to Silver Spring and up to Philly.

While we've been busy crafting away, we were featured in the Urbanite magazine in May!  It was so cool to flip through the pages of Urbanite and see our jewelry highlighted in the Goods section!

Meanwhile, I'm making my final preparations for my May wedding and Rachel started a new job.  It's getting a little tricky to find time to create, but we're still dedicated to our hobby!  We've been coming up with new designs and making minor changes to our show displays.
