Shop Talk with Chipping with Charm

I wanted to do a regular series on my blog, something unique that hasn't been done before. I came up with an idea to feature small shops, that are located throughout the country. So, every Friday you can stop by and check out a new shop, and at the same time meet the owner. Some weeks, I will be sharing some wonderful vendors that set up at vintage style shows. I am hoping that this series will introduce you to some shops and shows, that you might not already know about, and better yet, they might be in driving distance for you, wouldn't that be nice? This week it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Laurel from Chipping with Charm! I have enjoyed blogging with Laurel for several years and she is always inspiring me, with all her neat and unique ideas. After you finish shopping, you can click here to visit Laurel's blog.   

 
I am so very honored and excited that Linda invited me to share our booth here at Coastal Charm for Shop Talk this week!
First, I'll introduce myself...my name is Laurel and you can find me sharing my junk style ideas over on my blog Chipping with Charm.

 My friend Joan from Signs of the Times and I have been sharing a booth at Antiques Downtown in Elk River, Minnesota since October of 2012.
 
I make lots of junky...and somewhat quirky pieces for our booth.  Things like LEVEL CROSSES...

Trowel Photo Holders...
 


 

...RUSTY LITTLE SHOES...and more.
 
Joan is known for her AMAZING signs...
 


...and beautiful pillows.
 
 
We started out in this perfectly chippy little space...
 

 
But quickly "outgrew" it and moved on to the neighboring booth.
 
Here's a little peek at what we have going on for Spring this year...
 
 
 
 


  
 
 
 
 
 
 

As you can see we squeeze LOTS of stuff into our little space.  Layers of chippy, rusty, rustic, industrial, vintage...FUN :)

We also do some of the JUNKMARKET Style shows too...

They are held a couple of times a year at OTTEN BROS. GREEN HOUSE in Long Lake, MN.  
Here are a few pictures from some of our booths in the past...
 
  (This was a booth we shared with our friends from Country Junk.)

Refresh

My new line of jewelry "Refresh", is now fully stocked.  I rescue and repurpose vintage jewelry to create 'One of a Kind' pieces to renew new life. I repurpose one vintage beauty at a time. It has been so much fun to upcycle broken pieces and gently used pieces into unique items, to be loved once again. Something old, Something new, Harmonize it together, That's what I do.  One of a kind repurposed vintage/antique jewelry for special occasions to everyday life! I have been very flattered, that so many of my creations have already sold. I am giving each one of my creations a name. I gave my mom a necklace for mother's day and I named her...Linda...gotta make sure she remembers her baby girl. I named one after my grandmother and before I dropped it off at the shop, I decided that "Eva" had to stay with me. If you have any suggestions on some names, I would love to hear them. So, get your thinking caps on and let's hear whatcha got!
                                                 Blessings,
                                                    Linda

Nifty Thrifty Tuesday No. 212

Since last weeks party, a lot has been happening here at Coastal Charm. Went road tripin' with Mr.CC and did some pickin' for the booth. While he was attending a seminar, I was out doing some fun pickin'. I've  been having so much fun looking for unique pieces to make necklaces for my new line "Refresh". We headed down to our beach condo for an overnight stay and while we were there, my sweet hubs took me out to a delicious dinner at a new restaurant. If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know about out night out. Saturday night, my daughter Haley had us over for a Mother's Day dinner. The meal was sooooo yummy, think she must have gotten her cooking skills from her dad. Sunday, we attended church with my daughter Mary Claire, then we all headed over to spend some time with my mom. Then, this week, I will be busy doing a complete overhaul on the booth. I have  a lot of new merchandise to add to my inventory, so if you are local, come on by and check us out. I should have some pictures of all of it later this week, so be on the look out for those. Okay, now let's see what you have been doing.
                                                        Blessings,
                                                          Linda
Recap from last week...
