Inquiring minds want to know
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve received inquiries from a couple of Baltimore by Hand readers who are in search of certain local vendors/shops. They wrote to me in the hopes that their fellow readers might be able to help them out. So, if you happen to have answers to the following two questions, please post your response below.
Hi Christy,
I was hoping you or one of your readers might be able to help me remember the name of this tiny little store in Canton where you could design your own purse. It used to be located on one of the off streets, closer to Patterson Park, and then moved into Canton Square briefly. I saw on my last pass-by that they were closing their store in the Square, but I was hoping that they might still be running their business somewhere else. The store was very, very pink and had pre-made designs and tons and tons of options for your own personal bags. If anyone knows the store I’m thinking of, and could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
Kate
And Annette is looking for this unique jewelry designer:
Hi,
I am hoping you can help me. Several months ago I was at Lexington Market Downtown and there was vendor there who made the most beautiful bracelets from forks. He gave me his card and I believe he said that he had a shop in the downtown area. I have lost the card but if you know any information that could help I would be soo thankful!!
Thanks,
Annette

The fork guy is usually at the JFX Farmers Market on Sundays. Haven't seen him this year quite yet, but has been the last couple of years.

Kate -
The name of the purse company is Fiorito Designs. This the website: http://www.fioritodesigns.com/ The store is closed but you can still order purses from the website.
Hope this is what you were looking for!
