Ta Da, Berlin, Maryland, Gifts, Home Accessories, Ta Da Home is Opening next Week
It was a road trip that Debbie and I took with anticipation to Berlin, Maryland. For many years both of us traveled this route every day, pretty much. Our children went to school in this historic town.
Berlin is in Worcester County; 7 miles west of Ocean City. The town dates back to the 1790’s.
This historic town is a darling with Hollywood. Two major movies were filmed on location; Runaway Bride in 1998 and Tuck Everlasting in 2001.
We were going to Ta Da at 18 N Main St., Berlin, MD 2811. Tel. 410-641-4430. Websites? http://www.blairelizabeth.com and www.shoptada.com.
The store is owned by Patty Falck and her daughter, Blair Elizabeth Parsons. It is a partnership that is worth seeing. Both complement each other so well. I love seeing them exchanging ideas with their customers. They have a good “eye” and Ta Da is very well appointed; the colors and the merchandise.
It is the type of store where you can find gifts for the home, weddings, birthdays and for your own indulgence. A little retail therapy, perhaps?
Blair Elizabeth started designing her own jewelry some years ago and I must admit she is getting better and better. The combination of stones and shells are breathtaking. I took pictures of some of her necklaces so that you could get an idea of her style.
After all these jewelry pictures all you need is the jewelry bag for traveling. Locally handmade, they can hold a lot.
There is a whole room just for gifts for babies and toddlers.
An assortment of totes in so many colors and designs. You can never have too many of those.
I noticed they had a table with jelly watches in all the summery colors to match any outfit.
Ta Da has nuts and sauces; platters and bowls.
A line of personalized gifts was also something I had not seeing at the store before.
Patty has been a teacher and a shopkeeper for so many years; well known for her artistic talent. She has a line of handpainted glass that is really beautiful. One such piece is the Wedding Vase. It is her signature piece and traditionally, she paints white lilies with the wedding date and the couple’s names. A message from the person giving the gift is placed at the bottom of the vase. It is elegant and definitely a keepsake. There are other styles available, which she would be more than happy to talk to you about.
Another line Ta Da has been carrying is Lindsay Phillips. The shoes are flats and flip flops with snap ons that you can mix and match in different colors and designs. People that have bought them say they are very comfortable.
Ta Da has very good news. They are opening next week Ta Da Home right across the street. This store is going to be something worth stopping by. Patty has been working hard and she is the type of person that once she opens that store everything is going to look just right.
Have a good one…..talk to you later….
