About Me

My photo
I have a little brick and mortar~Bungalow Love~ in Historic downtown Berlin MD. I stock the shelves with Locally Handcrafted, Vintage and Fair Trade Goods. I also design and create jewelry for my jewelry company, A Mermaids Purse. I have 3 wonderful crazy kids that are growing up way to fast. I could not survive without coffee. Seeing people happy, makes me happy.

Fall is the best time to ride bikes...



At least I think so, it's not too hot, it's not too cold. It's just right. And just in time for fall bike riding, here are some really cool fair trade bike baskets that have just arrived in the shop!

Hi ho, hi ho, back to school they go.



I am not one of the moms that rejoice when the kids head back to school. I like having them home with me, however I am not the homeschool type. Thought about it, still think about it...hmmm. While I ponder, here are my loves!  I hope everyone out there has a SAFE, fun, incredible growing journey of a year. Peace.

Artist Spotlight:Melissa Kelly








Melissa Kelly has loved and worn jewelry since she was old enough to walk, and She has been making jewelry in some form or another since elementary school. Her interest really piqued in her last year at college, when she chose to take a jewelry design class as an elective. She began making jewelry with the goal of starting her own business since then. After working for other jewelry designers for 3 years, Melissa finally took the plunge in 2010, starting Be In the Moment.


When Melissa is not at work making new pieces, you may find her singing traditional Irish or other folk songs at a pub somewhere, acting on stage, or hanging out with her dog, Grover.  Melissa sells on Etsy and at Bungalow live in Berlin MD.
