Great blog post from Meghan at Sydney Hale Co.


Sydney Hale Co. candles is one of Covet's original products. Meghan Cook, owner, is an adorable girl who comes in the shop and delivers these wonderful soy based candles. This is what she had to say about us.

COVET

 

Arlington, VA


Covet is a great boutique in our part of town (Arlington, VA that is!) that opened close to a year ago off Wilson 
Blvd, just a few blocks from the heart of Ballston. Shop owners and friends, Sabrina Cabada and Autumn Clayton
 keep the shelves stocked with items of great design and craftsmanship (most often handmade) and the walls 
decorated with beautiful artwork available for purchase (where you can find some of Sabrina’s beautiful paintings!). 
This most adorable shop is also occasionally graced by the presence of two most adorable dogs….what could be better! 
Meet Fiona (a Pug named after Fiona Apple) who just turned three on Valentine’s Day and Baritone (aka “Bear”), an 
8 year old Basenji.

Sabrina and Autumn, who both attended VCU, were both very much into art and design which caused them to 
gravitate towards each other when they met at an Arlington play group when their kids were toddlers. They kept 
in touch off and on but when Sabrina came across a retail space and the dream of opening a shop came to life, Autumn 
soon heard her phone ring and was off to look at the space. Once they had the concept of the shop laid out (an art gallery/
boutique featuring mostly handmade items) Sabrina quickly signed the lease and Covet was born. Right now at Covet, 
you can find the work of the following artists / vendors (including Sydney Hale Co. products!): IMM Living, ADMK 
3 sprouts, elizabthw and more.


If you are in Arlington, come by and see if you can catch the dogs at Covet! Fiona will greet you with a friendly bark 
and Bear (who by the nature of her breed doesn’t bark at all) will sing you a lovely song if asked politely (it’s true!).
