New Shop: The Robin's Nest

I'm in a new shop! A few months ago I met the lively and amazing Robin of The Robin's Nest at the Grant Avenue Market in Takoma Park. Robin has a sophisticated vintage and handmade shop within the renovated old barn - Chartreuse and Co. - in Frederick, Maryland. I got to take a trip out to the barn a few weeks ago to drop off lots of matchbooks for her and I was BLOWN AWAY! It was like stepping inside of Anthropologie's suppliers.

The space consists of a few vintage buildings - the barn is the main part but outside is a little garden house, a patio and a few other old timey buildings.



The barn is two stories - here's the upstairs. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven in this space.


Basically, the barn works like this - it holds space for multiple brands / shops and is stocked to the ceilings with vintage and handmade treasures - all extremely reasonably priced. I joked with some of my crafty friends on Twitter that we should take a big empty Enterprise van up there on a trip and everyone can buy their own chair for the ride home. There is some seriously amazing stuff up there.



I snapped this photo for my friends that just opened a new shop - this is totally up their alley. They're a vintage stationary, map and clothing shop in DC - Analog. If you love this space, you'll love their shop too.


This display made me want to curl up and live in it. Got mad booth and display inspiration while  I was there.



So you can now find my matches and more to come at The Robin's Nest in Chartreuse and Co. at 4007 Buckeystown Pike, Frederick MD 21704. They are open the third weekend of each month so September 21 - go check it out! And stop by the Robin's Nest for some matches and awesome books --


I've got to get a B, A, &, R (Yes she does have the ampersand too!!)
