The Pink Cabbage, a consortium of six antique dealers and designers, has just opened at 11707 Frederick Road. The spiffy new emporium is located at the corner of Triadelphia Road and Route 144. "A lot of us are displaced dealers from the old Oella Mill," laughed one vendor. The Pink Cabbage is housed in a two-story former residence, which was built in the 1800s. According to Kate McCall Eckert, a recent Saturday afternoon shopper and a lifelong resident of the area, "This house was once a rest stop for travelers along the National Road." The house has been refurbished with fresh paint and each room has a distinctive flair. Local dealer Sherry Russell purveys a "taste of vintage design" with her jewelry from the Sassafras collection. Fellow browsers on The Pink Cabbage's opening day included Sandy Wigler, who was entertaining her out of town family members from Tennessee with an antiquing trek. The Pink Cabbage will be open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Questions? Call manager Jodie Perez at 410-531-7953. |
