Still not over this past Saturday, you just had to be there⚔️✨

The fits, the merchants, the energy… Richmond, y’all really showed up and showed OUT for our Mini Ren Faire! 🏰

So much creativity, a little bit of mischief, and a whole lot of magic on West Moore Street. We loved seeing everyone bring their own version of the realm to life. 🧚🏽‍♀️🍄🌱

Huge thank you to everyone who came out, shopped small, dressed up, and made this day so much fun. And a little extra love to @planthouserva + @shopmadeinrva for bringing this magical day to life with us!🍃✨

Until next time, fair travelers. 🗡️🫶🏽

E-Biking Adventure along the Loire River🚴🏻‍♀️🍷Bonjour Mes Amis! My recent trip through the Loire Valley by bike was everything I imagined and more. Our journey took us along the Loire river from Saumur, Amboise and the countryside, then ending in Sancerre. A little mix of adventure, luxury and French charm. Travelling by e-bike was magical. There is something so special to wander, slow down, enjoy nature, share great food and wine with plenty of laughs. If this trip seems interesting to you, check out the full article, including the biking route, hotels, restaurants and our whole itinerary:
