Chartreuse & Co is a magical place.
Tucked away, about 3 miles off 270, just before you get to Frederick, MD, there is an older Victorian style farm house. On the property, there is a barn. Actually, there’s three barns. And inside of those barns…oh, the treasures! They are stuffed from the floor to the rafters with the most amazing collection of vintage items you have ever seen. Things from your childhood, things from your mother’s childhood, things from your grandmother’s childhood; displayed, used, repurposed; everything unique.
I can’t even begin to express how much a love this place. The prices are amazing, the pieces are fantastic, and the people are so friendly. Each month, I wait for that third weekend, plotting what I want, hoping they still have that thing that I saw last month and didn’t grab, excited to see what is in store this time around.
Every person I have brought with me to Chartreuse has fallen in love. Everyone discovers the joy of the hunt and the thrill of the find in this place. I never ever leave empty-handed and every month, I wait to go back for more. There’s inspiration in every corner.
If you find yourself in Frederick, MD on the third weekend of any month, LOOK THEM UP. You won’t be sorry.

Oooohhh…this looks really cool. Maybe the Lovely Daughter and I can go in September or October since I didn’t manage to sign her up for her painting class until it filled up 🙁
You and your daughter will not be disappointed if you do!
