My college room-mate asked me if I’d give a Tour de Baltimore during November, and because of what she had to endure when we lived together, I couldn’t say anything other than Yes, of course! So, I decided that I would open it up to you, even though I know it’s late notice.
Here’s the schedule:
- Meet at 10:00 at Housewerks for coffee and donuts, and a bit of shopping.
- Wander over to DeBois Textiles, and check out their fabulous fabrics and vintage clothing. Maybe someone will find the perfect LBD for the holidays!
- Head to Hampden, a funky neighbourhood with lots of great shops, including Trohv, which I just wrote about. We will have lunch here, too.
- On the way back downtown, we’ll pop into McLain-Wiesand to see what David has in the shop. During one tour, someone bought an old velvet-covered settee right out of the display window!

If you’re interested in joining the tour, please send me an e-mail here. We’ll include you on the tour for some pre-holiday shopping and fun!
LOVE that settee -- why do I always fall for things that someone else has already snagged?!
ReplyDeleteI do need to contact my Aunt, as her college roommate lives in Baltimore; perhaps they could join you. She resides in Philadelphia. I went on a D.C. tour led by a Baltimore resident, her name was Elaine, an outstanding guide, she made an impression on me. That Educational Tours co. hires great guides. I bet there are guided tours of Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteHi Meg, THE BOOK arrived yesterday!!!!! I love it! Especially the vignettes he paints of his great clients, and not so great clients. BB was a unique guy! I just forwarded this post to my BFF who lives in Arnold,MD--I hope that she goes on The Tour of Baltimore with you. Wish I could hop over and go with her--but we are having Open House at the shop and things would definitely get stretched a little thin. Thank you so much for the fantastic book. xoxo, Mary
ReplyDeleteOooops, I forgot to mention the settee--I am addicted to daybeds (that's a daybed) and I would definitely given my left arm for that one!! Anglo-Indian and to die for. thanks. Mary
ReplyDeleteMeg, do you have a date selected yet?
ReplyDeleteWish it was going to be on Saturday the 19th. Would love to join you.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that I cannot attend! I know we would have great fun!!!
