Cabin Fever in Boston This Weekend



Got Cabin Fever? Wanna catch it?

We love Boston. This show looks great. The vendors and food look fantastic. It's worth a trip out.

January Hoodiathon




December was a blur for us. We planned to introduce a whole line of new hoodies, but ran out of time. So, it's January and we're sipping hot cocoa and having a hoodiathon.

Charlie in City Pages- Jay Leno Bloopers



How could Jay Leno resist this City Pages blooper? Charlie from Charlie and Sarah is pictured holding Secret Keeper bird pillows he made while vending at last year's No Coast holiday craft fair. The image was supposed to be accompanied by an article for this weekend's No Coast craft fair. Instead, City Pages ran it in the A List stand up comedy section with captions promoting some comedians. I sure hope the audience members at the comedy club aren't expecting to see a guy in a floral apron holding bird pillows.

No Coast is Minnesota's hugest holiday show. It is known for having record numbers of shoppers even in a blizzard. Even though, this show is on Friday and Saturday, get there early for the best pickings. There are many one of a kind items and they go fast! Shoppers are known to arrive before the vendors to get first dibs on the handmade goodies.

If you are in New York City, stop by Gifted (www.BrooklynFlea.com) in the East Village all week or Bust Craftacular in Chelsea on Sunday. If you are in Chicago, check out the Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday and Sunday. Happy Holidays!

Martha Stewart Taping at the Brooklyn Flea

The Martha Stewart show on Brooklyn aired today. It was so exciting watching the crew film at the Brooklyn Flea. I was nine months pregnant during the filming. I turned down induction just to make it to the taping. I had the baby exactly one week later. Whew! Here are some of my pictures:Martha and niece, Sophie, sampling pickles.

Martha is so hot in person. She has long skinny legs and looks absolutely stunning!

NEW Carpenter Pants Made by Charlie

We are having a blast designing a new line of pants. I love it. Charlie whips up whatever I sketch for him. It is like Project Runway here at the Charlie and Sarah headquarters.

First up, we have a soft, grey, denim pair of carpenter pants with a functional pocket and loop.

All Points West- Coldplay, Jay Z


We are at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend at All Points West. I'll admit that the biggest reason I signed on was because the Beastie Boys were booked to perform on opening night. They were replaced by Jay Z at the last minute. Although a bit crushed, we are having a blast.

This festival has most breathtaking view ever. It is in New Jersey in Liberty State Park. It has a view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline that give you an illusion you are standing beside them.

Did I mention Coldplay is booked for Sunday night? That should help heal the wounds of missing the Beastie Boys. This is Charlie's first concert ever. Coldplay is not a bad way to start. Let's hope all of the anglophiles come out to shop at our Charlie and Sarah shop before the concert.
