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  I repurpose ‘outdated’ and vintage maps into coaster sets, using actual maps thoroughly sealed onto ceramic tiles to create one-of-a-kind items of places and themes all over the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.

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.

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.
