THE HOLIDAY MARKET VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: All Mapped Out

Posted by | vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Holiday Market on November 16, 2013 at The Fillmore Charlotte.

Please welcome Candice from All Mapped Out:

My name is Candice and I’m a recovering academic.  After earning a PhD in Geography, I found that all I really wanted to do was ‘make stuff’.  So, armed with formal training as a cartographer and informal training as a picker/collector of vintage wares (under the tutelage of my awesome parents), I took on the new creative path of All Mapped Out in 2012, designing and making geography and cartography inspired home décor and apparel.

I now have a reason to horde maps and atlases and I take full advantage of it!  I repurpose ‘outdated’ and vintage maps into coaster sets, using actual maps thoroughly sealed onto ceramic tiles to create one-of-a-kind items of places and themes all over the world.

All Mapped Out

I also design geography-inspired t-shirts for the map nerd in all of us as well as original designs screenprinted onto vintage maps for one-of-a-kind wall art.

All Mapped Out

All Mapped Out

My goal is to teach my love of geography and cartography outside of the classroom through my products while helping folks add a sense of place to their space.  Bottom line, I’m a huge map nerd and would love to help you find ‘where’ you’re looking for!

THE HOLIDAY MARKET VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: BLY DESIGNS

Posted by | vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Holiday Market on November 16, 2013 at The Fillmore Charlotte.

Please welcome Katie from BlyDesign:

With a background in classical piano, I have always had an artistic, creative spirit. I discovered my passion for jewelry design after coming across some old, chandelier crystals in my late Grandmother’s house. I was struck by the beauty of each crystal and yearned to create a necklace that would keep one of the crystals close to my heart.

BlyDesign

Over the years, I began refining my techniques in metal work and was overwhelmed by the response to my designs from my friends and family. I decided to launch Blydesign in 2009 as a way to make my pieces accessible to my fans.

BlyDesign

Each piece of jewelry is carefully, handcrafted and distributed by myself in my hometown studio located in Charlotte, NC. Some of my favorite materials to work with are resin, brass, and leather.

Blydesign has been featured in Vogue, Shape and several Charlotte publications. The line is currently for sale in stores and boutiques in the Southeast, as well as online.

Handcrafted Sterling and Mixed Metal Jewelry

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments

Not all brides are looking for pearls! In fact many are seeking a unique statement piece… enter Amy from Agate & Elm who will be joining us for Something Old, Something New on April 13!

Here’s a little bit about Agate & Elm from the artist herself:

“Agate & Elm is a modern jewelry line created by hand in Charlotte and inspired by organic textures, patterns, and shapes. Each design is a reflection of the natural world, seen through the lens of a jewelry artist. All of my designs are made solely by my two hands in my home studio and each piece is one-of-a-kind.  My new work incorporates the textures of the native flora awakening from the earth all around my studio.  I am always happy to create custom pieces on request that may incorporate your favorite natural element.”

Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Eclectic Orchid

Posted by | events, vendor spotlight | No Comments
Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market on June 23rd at The Annex.  Please welcome Marcy from Eclectic Orchid:

I will be bringing some of my Memory Collector necklaces with me. They are a combination of salvaged buttons, repurposed chandelier crystals, vintage lockets, and an assortment of new pretties as well. Here is the story behind them:

Lindsay Wynne Photography

And as the years passed, she began to gather her collection of bits and baubles, trinkets of days gone by, reminders of what once was. As she positioned each one on the chain, she was flooded with memories, of happiness, of life, of love. Each piece had a story to tell, its history known only to her. And so, she would continue to collect her memories, sharing them with others to give them new meanings, new purposes, new tales to be told by those who came to cherish them…

Introducing my new Memory Collector necklaces! Each one is unique, with its very own story to tell. Collections of vintage beauties combine to make a unique and interesting work of wearable art! Each one is completely unique, one of a kind!
