The art was nice and all (mostly just my friend's), but of course what caught my eye? A particular table of awesome jewelery. Big statement necklaces, chunky rings, and all at prices that made me swoon. I was definitely lingering, and ended up striking up a conversation with the two fascinating women who owned Sparrow Boutique. Local to Charlotte, they decided to start their own retail business because of their love to shop. It was all I could do not to shout SAMESIES!!
Traveling up to NYC several times a year, they buy fabulous and on-trend jewlery in the wholesale district, then bring it down to North Carolina to sell at prices we all can afford -- nothing on their website is over $50!! Their goods have caught the eye of women nationwide, and they have even done some styling for TV personalities.
As I stood there listening to their story, I couldn't stop staring at this fabulous pistachio colored ring. They recognized a poor girl in love with the fashion world and offered me the ring in exchange for a shoutout on my blog... like I needed any more convincing!!
They have a table at the art crawl in Noda the first and third friday of the month, and I would not miss stopping by. It's the jewelery you see in boutiques, without their heinous price tag. For you out of towners, don't sweat it -- they ship nationwide! It's so important to support local merchants and entrepreneurs, and these women make it easy. Their warm and genuine nature (so rare in fashion), combined with a killer eye for jewelry trends, makes you want to grab everything on the table - then go catch up over for a drink.
