About Us
The Apple Basket owners, Charlene and Nick Tsirigotis, have been in
business for 24 years. Charlene is a self-taught floral designer and
antique dealer who runs this delightful emporium full of general store
memorabilia of yesteryear and antiques. The store originally was located
in Solomons and now is in Mechanicsville, in a two-story, original 1800's
era general store. The Apple Basket has evolved into a mix of the old
and new, with additions like Trollbeads jewelry, Crocs footwear, Le
Creuset cookware, Jim Shore collectibles, Yankee candles, April Cornell
quilted handbags, and many other gifts and collectibles.

Trollbeads
We carry an extensive line of the ever popular Trollbeads with which
our customers can create their own design. What is most distinctive
about Trollbeads is that they are made from the highest quality raw
materials including sterling silver, 18 carat gold, Italian Murano glass,
natural pearls and precious stones.
Trollbeads have very unique and different features
to offer you endless variations and combinations with many symbols,
flowers, animals, zodiac signs, colors and materials. This makes
the jewelry unique and personal. The beads can be worn on a silver
or gold chain.
