Press Time!

Have you picked up the November

issue of 

Southern Living Magazine, yet?

We're so excited at 

Chartreuse and Co., because

we're mentioned as one of the

best places to shop for 

super cool antiques and vintage finds

in Maryland and Virginia!

(It's where you'll find my shop, The Kramer Angle)

Woo Hoo!   

Curious?

Chartreuse is open next weekend,

November 4th, 5th and 6th
 at

4007A Buckeystown Pike 

Buckeystown, MD  

and I'd love to see you there! 

Take a Spin

Feeling lucky?

Shop my barn show this weekend

at Chartreuse and Co.,

in Buckeystown, Maryland

and spin one of seven

vintage gaming wheels

to find your lucky number!

It's an awesome collection

of carnival wheels from the

1940's and 50's

that would be so cool

in a game room, family room

or bar!

 This is my favorite:

It's over six feet tall

on an iron base, and

is definitely a statement piece!

 And this one's the oldest, dating
back to the 1940's -

I love the faded

graphics and colors

If you know me, 

you know I love cloches

and this month I've teamed

them with seasonal decor,

like this glass one

paired with an antique

grinding stone

and a wire version

with pumpkins tucked

inside just for fun!

Who doesn't love Scrabble?

My custom made Scrabble pillows

make great holiday gifts!

A fabulous pair of buttery

soft leather chairs are

perfect for a fireside chat

 

Check out the new line of

aromatherapy candles I'm

offering in yummy scents!

Blown glass pendant lights,

by an Ohio artist,
are fabulous grouped
over an island,
like the one I have 
for sale this month

For hours, directions

and more photos of what's

in this weekend's sale,

check out our website,

Chartreuse and Co.

If you go, let me know,
because this is the one month
I won't see you there 
because I'm heading to Seattle
for a much needed girl's weekend!
(My bags are packed and I can't wait to go!)

The Recap

It's Wednesday and I'm still

recovering from last weekend's

The Barn Show!

We were blessed with glorious weather,

incredible crowds and 

can definitely say it was our best 

show ever!

Thank you so much to everyone who 

came to the show, I hope you enjoyed it,

and if you weren't able to stop by,

take a look at some of the highlights,

and plan to attend our next show,

December 2nd and 3rd.

Wow!

Fall Market This Weekend!

If you're looking for something

fun to do this weekend

check out our 

Fall market

at 

Wild Rose and Co. 

in 

Walkersville, Maryland

Not only is the shop loaded with new merchandise, but we'll also have 

guest vendors selling 

vintage goods, pumpkins, jewelry, home

decor, crafts and more!

I hope to see you there!

Walkersville, MD

Hitting the Highway!

I love to drive and I love meeting new sources for the cool items I stock my shop with.

(You do meet some interesting people in this business!)

So, guess what I get to do tomorrow?

Drive all over Maryland and Virginia

meeting new sources!

I'm so excited to get out on the road,

by myself, with an empty truck, 

a bit of a game plan and all day

to do it.

It doesn't get much better than that!

Wish me luck!  

Barn Living

I used to live 

in a nice house in the suburbs.

It was clean and organized,

the rooms were decorated,

and you could actually see

the floors.

(Hardwood throughout)

I used to have friends over 

every weekend for happy hours 

by the fire.

.

But lately I feel

like I live more 

in a barn than my own home.

Two actually.

One's an old dairy barn in Buckeystown

and the other's a former horse stable in 

Gambrills.  

The line has been blurred

between my real home and 

my barns away from home.

My once decorated rooms

hold Barn Show and Kramer Angle

merchandise 

waiting to be tagged,

painted, wired 

or transformed.

My house has price

tags all over it!

It's like everything is for sale.

Like the pair of vintage

shipping crates I found at 

the auction that are now 

my family room end tables.

(Currently tagged at $298 each)

The cubby I bought to sell

that houses 

my growing wine collection, which 

I don't have time to drink

with my friends.

($249)

All tagged. 

Waiting to sell or waiting to enjoy.

The line has been blurred. 
  

I've been spending too much time

consumed with my business 

and not enough time 

consumed with my life. 

Maybe it's the change of seasons,

or my recent awareness of life's fragility,

but it's time I find some balance.

I want my house back and

I could really go for a great

bottle of wine.

Crazy!

We've had a great two days at 

Chartreuse and Co.

in Buckeystown, Maryland

Fridays are always insane and

yesterday was no exception!

It always amazes me how 

long the checkout line is even

with three of us writing up sales

and how patient our customers are!

We must be doing something right!  

And, guess what?

We're also open tomorrow!

Sunday, September 17th 

noon - four 

If you like to decorate your home

with the coolest antiques, architectural 

salvage, unique vintage finds and repurposed furniture - then Chartreuse 

is the place for you!

Like this super cool cubby.

Wouldn't it be awesome in a mudroom, craft room, or it could be the ultimate wine or shoe rack!?

Stop by tomorrow to check it out!
