Next up - Craftermath 11/27!

First things first - our next show will be on Saturday, November 27 in Alexandria, VA at West Potomac High School for the 1st Annual Craftermath show!  We're super excited about this show.  So far, it's the furthest show from Baltimore that we're attending.  The vendors that are listed on the exhibitors page look amazing.  It looks like it's going to be a fantastic show!  I'm planning to sneak away from our booth and get some Christmas shopping done:)

It's been a busy few weeks!  We've attended the Ridgely Middle School craft show and the South River High School craft show.  Both shows had vendors spread between the gym and cafeteria.  We're constantly working on re-arranging and updating our display and products.  Our key tree continues to grow, as we make new necklaces.  We're just about ready to expand our setup to 2 tables!  We've been meeting so many awesome people at these shows - both vendors and customers.  Thanks to everyone that stopped by!

Weekend Show! Ridgely Middle School Craft Fair! 11/13

Our next show is on Saturday, November 13 at Ridgely Middle School from 10am-3pm.  The address is 121 Ridgely Road, Lutherville, MD 21093.  If you're near Timonium, come out and see our latest creations!  We've been working on more key necklaces and other pendant necklaces.  

The Great Halloween Lantern Parade was awesome!  It was a first not only for vending there, but also for attending!  It was so cool to see the unique lanterns, costumes, musical performances and of course, the parade. We met loads of great people that stopped by to check out our jewelry and accessories.  The key tree looked amazing in the spotlight at night!  As always, if anyone forgot cash and wanted to make a purchase, please email us (charmscitycompany@gmail.com) or check out our etsy site to purchase with a credit card (www.charmscitycompany.com).  We've been busy adding new listings to etsy.  We are always trying to update the pictures and pieces offered.  If you have any comments, we'd love to hear them.  

Reminder on upcoming shows:  Ridgely Middle School in Lutherville, MD 11/13 and Craftermath in Alexandria, VA 11/27

New Postings & Updates

We signed up for Twitter.  It's a new thing for both of us, so if you have a Twitter account, follow us to get the latest updates and news!  www.twitter.com/charmscityco, our user name is charmscityco.

We've been working on assembling some new necklaces.  Another vintage key necklace with a rich chocolate and amber beads has been added.  This is a shorter, lighter vintage key necklace.  This is another necklace that is easily paired with most outfits and is certainly unique.

The latest beaded bar necklace was made with deep sapphire blue Czech glass beads.  Depending on the lighting, it might look like brighter or darker like a midnight sky.  This is another classic, simple necklace that adds a kick of color.

We have been busy digging around antique stores on the weekends looking for more props and inspiration.  It was certainly a packed Saturday.  We couldn't find the vintage wooden step ladder that we were seeking, but we came across a few new treasures!  Driving around the countryside with crisp, autumn air and hunting around small, quaint towns was a wonderful way to rejuvenate our creativity!

Remember, we'll be at the Great Halloween Lantern Parade THIS SATURDAY from 3pm to 9:30pm.  Stop by to see us before you celebrate Halloween!

Review of the Hereford Festival

Thanks to all of those who came out the Hereford Fall Festival over the weekend.  The wind was fierce on Saturday morning.  Canopies were shaking and flying around the Hereford grounds all morning.  Luckily, the crowds still came to listen to live music, sample wine, watch monster trucks and browse the arts and crafts sections!  Our key necklaces and charm necklaces still seem to be the crowd favorite.  Everyone has their own favorite key and luckily we still have a wide selection for replenishment!

While hanging out at the festival, we continued to make new party rings.  We'll be showcasing them soon on our Etsy site and at our next show.  Lots more gold and silver rings, just in time for the holidays!

Keep checking the blog and etsy sites.  We're always putting new items up and giving updates of our next shows.  

Don't forget to find us on Facebook!  CharmsCityCompany

Our website is still under construction, but check back for updates!
