Sewing Down South Party with Southern Charm's Craig Conover



In addition to watching a whole lot of Hallmark Channel, if you visit this site with any regularity, you probably know that I am also a Bravoholic. Big time. As is Running Daddy. When I saw on Facebook about ten days ago that the adorable Craig Conover from Southern Charm was going to be at our favorite store here in town for a pillow party for his company Sewing Down South, I immediately texted Terps Gal. 


Since I was in the car, with Running Daddy driving, on the way to and from a hockey game, Terps Gal found out all of the details for us. We bought the VIP tickets because it guaranteed entry and all of the money went to aid in the Bahamas which Craig is very passionate about. The answer to your first burning question is that yes...Running Daddy did want a ticket too.

Friday was kind of hairy with some work projects where technology was not cooperating that afternoon. Running Daddy was coaching track that afternoon so he needed to go from practice, to home to change and then meet Terps Gal and me at the party. Whew!

Terps Gal and I were so glad we bought the VIP tickets as that meant that we bypassed the line outside and we were able to right walk right in and join the fun. The lovely ladies at The Lucky Knot throw a Good party. The VIPs were treated to swag bags filled with preppy products valued at over $100. Yes please.  They also had all kinds of fun treats and some wine for all of us.

We waited in line and picked out our Sewing Down South pillows. They had plenty and everyone was able to get the one they wanted. Hats off to the hosts!

Running Daddy got there just in time as we were almost at the front of the line when he arrived. He had the true VIP experience because in addition to the swag bag, he had Terps Gal and I as line standers.


Honestly, Craig was a total delight. He really seemed like he enjoyed meeting the people that were there and didn't rush anyone. We all chatted about Bravo, South Carolina and then also that we used to go to Bethany, DE in the summer which is close to where he grew up. He mentioned the Delaware golf trip in Season 3 when they other guys went in so hard on him...his words.




Needless to say, they all loved Running Daddy and his Bravo shirt. Craig asked if he really watched Bravo and willingly and I told him Southern Charm was Running Daddy's favorite show.  They went and grabbed the professional photographer to take some photos of Craig and Running Daddy which I am trying to track down. Running Daddy was the total hit of our group.

The answer to your second burning question is...Craig is very tall. Running Daddy is 5ft 11 inches tall and Craig is taller. Craig did have a boot on but he is a really tall guy. I think both of the guys look totally precious in the photos above.



Craig signed my pillow on the back and also Terps Gal's pillow. After that, we were then on our way.

The Best part of the evening is that they announced they raised $20,000 for the Bahamas to help those impacted by the hurricane.

We left and had a quick cocktail and a snack and then made our way home. It was a really fun way to spend a Friday night.

While I was happy to go and meet Craig, it was a special bonus that his pillows match our family room decor.  Running Daddy even told me at one point to buy another one, but they were pricey and I just wanted one as an accent piece.



We have always had a little soft spot for Craig in our house but now after meeting him and seeing how kind he was to everyone there, we are so Team Craig. Terps Gal too! Seriously, there were probably a few hundred people who went through that line and he never rushed anyone.

Plus with all of the money he is raising for the Bahamas, you can really tell what a kind heart he has. Honestly, I think some of his cast mates suffer from "affluenza" and I think he is finally getting his life together and doing really Good things with his new found fame. 

Craig is currently touring with his pillow parties for charity and I would tell you that if you are a Southern Charm fan to totally attend. His business partner Jerry is very responsive to tweets and DMs about upcoming location suggestions and is a very nice guy. 

Ok, if you are a Southern Charm fan, feel free to sound off in the comments below about who you think the Best Charmer is.

Have a Good weekend Besties! #LetCraigSew

    1. We are so Team Craig. Glad you like Running Daddy's shirt. It was either a birthday or Father's Day gift. I cannot remember which one but he does wear it quite a bit and he had to wear it for the party.
