Holiday Market: Carletta's Creations

Carletta Bey makes very pretty, creative, useful painted and etched glassware, as well as painting and photography. She uses a variety of painting techniques and interesting color combinations to decorate wine glasses that would make a welcome gift for a dear friend ( or two!)

The etched pieces are elegant and graceful and her lines are strong and sure. A set of glasses from Carletta's Creations is a very thoughtful gift...add a bottle of wine from one of our Cheverly Community Market wineries, and you have a gift that will be remembered for a long time to come!

Visit Carletta this weekend at the Holiday Market and find an unique gift for someone very special.

Like delectable chocolate croissants and earthy breads from Cheverly Breadbasket. Cheverly Breadbasket features artisanal bread, cookies, and pastries from the always amazing Firehook Bakery, as well as amazing tortillas and chips from Landover's own Moctec.
