Greetings from Pixie Dust!
New Store Hours Start This Weekend
Our most important update: Fall hours take effect August 22!
- Monday through Thursday: by appointment only
- Friday: 12 to 4
- Saturday: 12 to 5
- Sunday: 12 to 5
Shopping for maternity wear? Clothes for the grandkids? A special occasion oufit for an infant or teen? We invite you to make an appointment with us for a unique shopping experience. Groups or individuals may reserve store time outside of regular business hours. Let us know what sizes you’re shopping for, and we’ll pull out items from the back room*, display outfit options and accessories, and provide extra space for trying on and previewing. Daytime and evening appointments are available; no obligation to purchase.
Call 301-788-7851 or email pixie_dust@ymail.com to make an appointment.
* If you’ve visited us, you know we’re always pressed for space! Often, we have more clothing available than we have room for on our racks. If we know you’re coming, we’ll make sure everything in your size is on the salesfloor for you to consider.
Store Events and Happenings
Our ebay store is up and running! We’ve only included a few items for now. All items listed are also available in the store for purchase- check out what’s listed (see the link to the right) and either bid on ebay or come in to shop!
Our summer clearance sale ends when August ends. We still have a selection of shorts and summer tops in all sizes- at 50% off the regular price! Sandals and swim shoes are 25% off, too!
Fall clothes are here! We’re adding new selections every day. Halloween costumes will debut in full force on September 12 (have you considered consigning last year’s too small outfit?), and winterwear (boots, heavy coats, holiday-themed apparel, and holiday fancy dress) will be on the salesfloor the weekend after Halloween.
While you’ve got the calendar out, make a note to stop by the store during Railroad Days (the first weekend in October). Two of our store artists will be here with more of their goods- it’s a great time to special order a gift for the holidays! Sandra Sherbinko will be showing her jewlery, and Skip Virgilio will have plenty of his scrap tin airplanes.
Finally, mark September 5, October 3, November 7, and December 5 on your calendar- those are the dates of Brunswick’s First Friday celebrations this fall. Christopher Vigliotti will join us from 5:30-9:00 each of those days to take free portraits of children- a great opportunity for holiday cards! The sitting is complimentary; you can view the prints online and choose whether or not to order- at special rates. Each month will feature a different backdrop and props, so join us every month if you like!

Greetings from Pixie Dust!
We had a great time with local photographer Christopher Vigliotti on August 1, Brunswick’s First Friday- here are just a few of the hams who showed up for the free portrait sessions. We’ll host Christopher each First Friday this fall, with props and background to fit the theme of the event. (Okay, so we got a little “loose” with the beach theme, but who says ladybugs and frogs in highchairs don’t love the beach!?!)
Store Events and Happenings
We’ve pulled all of our summer clothing off the racks! Some recently consigned items have been held for the spring- everything else is 50% off! Come check out the clearance bins for shorts, skirts, sundresses, tshirts, tanks, and more in all kids’ sizes. Sandals and swim shoes are 25% off, too!
Fall clothes are here! We’re filling our racks with fantastic fall styles as fast as we can tag and hang. And we’re still accepting consignments for fall and winter clothing in all sizes, including maternity. Bring your items in on a Saturday or Sunday, or contact Allison to make an appointment (
301-788-7851 or
pixie_dust@ymail.com)
We’ll have modified store hours starting later this month, once school starts. Weekend hours will remain the same (10-5
on Saturday, 12-5
on Sunday), but check the website for updates on weekday hours (
www.pixie-dust.biz). You can also contact Allison to make an appointment.
New Arrivals
* pink ladybug umbrella stroller with sunshield
* Leap Pad with 6 books
* lots of wooden puzzles- and a puzzle caddy!
* gorgeous Pottery Barn Kids crib/toddler bedding set (blue, pink, yellow, red, gingham, florals- very cottage-y!)
* maternity clothes in sizes S, M, L
* tons of toy dinosaurs (start your own Jurassic Era)
* American Girl and American Girl-sized clothes and accessories- including Molly’s vanity!
* fall sneakers, shoes, and slippers for boys and girls
