Remember the lovely Sarah from Bloom Lab Perfumery at our Night Bazaar last month? 🌸 Well, she’s coming back to the Brick Store this Sunday!

This time she’s hosting a small, 12-person perfume-making workshop! Sarah knows sooo much about the world of fragrance, and she’ll be sharing a little of that knowledge while everyone gets to explore different botanical scents and blend their very own perfume to take home 🏡

I love seeing friends doing their thing and getting to cheer them on along the way. So happy to have her back at the Brick Store!

🌿 Sunday, November 15 | 2–4 PM 🌿

Anyway, just wanted to share in case anyone’s interested! ✨

Hello, it’s Christa! I share a lot of pictures of this old building, but thought it might be fun to (re)introduce the person behind the scenes! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I bought the Brick Store in 2017 and restored it for 7 years with my husband. Before it was mine, I’d drive past and feel drawn to it—the old windows, worn floors, and all the possibilities inside. Bringing it back to life while keeping the details that made it special has been such a meaningful part of my life.

A little about me: I’m an artist, letterpress printer, and mom of two young kids (2 and 4). I’m also the oldest of four sisters! My mom is from Germany, and growing up, we spent summers visiting family there. Those visits helped shape my love of history, old architecture, and things with a story. These days, I speak German with my own kids—or try to, haha! 💗

I love oil painting, antiques, and noticing the little details in things. The store brings so many of those loves together. It’s home to my creative work, but it matters to me that this building can still be part of the community, too. A place to celebrate, learn something, meet a friend, or gather around a table.

More than anything, I hope you feel a little transported back in time when you walk through the door—and feel the warmth of this place.

Whether you’ve been coming here for years or have only just found this page, I’m so happy you’re here! Thank you for following this almost 10 year journey 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Is it too early to start thinking about *this* kind of stuff? 🥰 As the leaves say their final goodbye, I think it’s in our nature to start imagining cozy holiday gatherings—bringing neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers together to share good food, warm drinks, laughter, and plenty of memories after a long, busy summer & fall 🍂

Maybe you’re mingling over appetizers, raising a glass to your hardworking team, or settling around a long table for a family dinner.

This place can be arranged for any of these, with space to mingle or sit down together. The old wood, warm lighting, and collected details already give you a lovely starting point—just add your own touches ✨

If you’re thinking about a holiday gathering of your own, send me a message! I’m happy to talk through your ideas and help you picture them here 🤍

Have a wonderful week!

I love moving things around until a little corner feels just right—the colors, the textures, how everything fits together. Even after all this time, I still notice things that make me stop and smile. I wanted to share some of the details I love that can get lost in the bigger picture 🏡

I was cleaning and getting ready for a baby shower when I stopped to take these pictures…which might explain why cleaning always takes me a little longer ☺️ It feels so nice to have everything back in place, ready for people to come in and make themselves at home. This time, to celebrate a little life on the way 🤍

If you have something special to celebrate, too, feel free to reach out! With so much already here, a few personal touches can be all you need. It makes getting ready for a gathering feel simple and easy.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week, enjoy that sun! ☀️

A tiny sneak peek from the Night Bazaar while I gather more photos from the evening!✨

I’m still a little starry-eyed! From the first people walking in just before 6pm, to the steady stream of visitors all night, this old store was absolutely full to the brim with life. Warm lights, laughter, smiling faces, shopping bags, and glasses raised to fall and a night out together! 🤩

After months of planning, seeing you all here—browsing, catching up, staying awhile, and supporting these *truly wonderful* small businesses, including my own—meant so much. I kept looking around, literally trying to commit it all to memory. Everything I’d imagined was happening right in front of me 🤍

I have so much more to share very soon. For now, sending out a little love, and a little glimpse of the night!

Also, did anyone else take any fun or pretty pics from the night? I’d be so grateful if you sent them my way, or if you’re comfortable posting them here, please do! It went by wayyy to fast, haha 📸

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🌙

Testing out a few cocktail tables for this weekend’s Night Bazaar! I’ll have them dotted around the store so you can settle in with a drink, catch up with friends, and take your time browsing and supporting our local vendors ☺️

I really want this to feel like an evening you’re welcome to stay and enjoy. I’ll have the patio furniture out, too, so you can take a seat outside under the lights. And the weather is looking perfect—a clear sunset and clear skies all evening! ✨

Come spend a little of your Saturday with us at The Brick Store, October 10 from 6–9 PM. Bring a friend, wander all three floors, and stay awhile 🤍

My husband had the kids yesterday afternoon while I spent some time here getting ready for Saturday’s big event that you’re all invited to. The counters became my worktable, signs were spread across the floor, and I happily got caught up in all the little details ☺️

I love this part—making things by hand, finding a spot for everything, and following one idea into another…there’s *always* something else I could make, move, or add, haha!

It was me, my laptop, the printer, my paper cutter, and a good portion of the floor. A little makeshift workshop inside this old general store. Felt good to have some time to spread out and work a little bit.

I’m sharing a few pictures from the middle of it all, before the supplies get tucked away and the vendors bring their own hard work through the door. I’m (really) looking forward to that part, too 🤍

I love thinking about all the small businesses, busy making, packing, and planning at kitchen tables, in studios, and in little shops all around here.

The Night Bazaar Pop-Up Market is this Saturday, October 10, from 6–9 PM at The Brick Store. I hope you’ll come see what we’ve all been working on ✨

Until then!

Paintbrush in hand, getting ready for Saturday ✨

I’ve been hand-painting a few signs for the Night Bazaar, and I love seeing all the little details come together in this old store.

Soon, all three floors will be filled with hand-selected vendors, books, art, handmade treasures, and people enjoying an evening out. I can’t wait to see it come to life 🥂

Come hang out, sip, and shop with us Saturday, October 10, from 6–9 PM at The Brick Store in Fairfield, Vermont. Bring a friend!

Every fall, I fall a little more in love with this old place 🍂

The warm brick seems to melt right into the changing foliage, while the historic green trim picks up the green still lingering in the leaves. I love, love, love how the colors bring out the best in each other. What a sight to behold!

I've been taking a few extra moments to admire it all—the storefront, the old door handle, the letter slot, a glimpse inside—before the last leaves fall and the building settles into another Vermont winter.

Nearly 200 autumns here, and I'm grateful to be part of this one 🧡

I hope to see you on Saturday, October 10, from 6-9 PM at the Night Bazaar Pop-Up Market. Come shop, sip, and see this lovely place for yourself under the evening lights ✨
