The Woman Behind the Shop

I want to write a post about the owner and founder of the shop, C.A. Camp & Sannino.

Carlin's shop has been described by this quote:

"If Doris Duke had a store, this would be it!"


Naming the store for her two children (Christopher Penn and Annie), Carlin is a family-first woman.  

Carlin, Annie, & Penn


She loves her children, parents, brothers, nieces and nephews, and pets almost as much as she loves traveling the world!  ;)

ZORA!

And travel the world she does.  Having lived in Amsterdam for a spell, the European way of life took hold and never left.  A connoisseur of all things fine and stylish, Carlin wanted to bring her love of treasures found around the world to her home town.  Charlottesville, VA got a cultural explosion, ready or not!!


Mexican, African, and European items fill C.A. Camp & Sannino.

There is no one like Carlin; there is no store like C.A. Camp & Sannino.

(Stay tuned for the back story on SANNINO!  Are you curious about that part of the shop's name?!)

  7. Carlin Camp has a heart that can fill a room..... a large room.....! She is soulful, thoughtful, generous, kind, talented; Charlottesville is blessed to have her as a part of our community. Her store is refreshing, purposeful and surprising--like her. If you haven't been, you must so that you can both experience shopping in a store that is like no other, and meet a woman that will move you and your heart. Thank you Carlin.
