I’d love to introduce you to my friend Maren of Brimwick Collective 💕

I met her a few years back after she applied to the Summer Market. When her application came through, I immediately fell in love with her simple, yet elegant designs….then I fell in love with her when I met her…and then…her absolutely lovely scents.

My MOST FAVORITE SCENT OF ALL TIME is her Cedar + Snow. In fact, it has become a favorite of my daughters too 💕

Tonight I met Maren in Lodi for this little parking lot exchange. We loaded up Brian’s Suburban and are now all stocked up for our events this month!

When you come in to our coffee shop on Tuesday, you will find the following scents (now available as 3 wick candles)…

✨ Sweaters & Scarves

✨ Corner Bookstore

✨ This is Home

✨ Quiet Solstice

✨ and 6 Cedar and Snow (the rest will launch at our Sip & Shop this month - details coming soon!)

I love cozy season…

But what I love even more is continuing my relationship with so many of my creative friends 💕

This time we chose Vermilion which was quite wonderful because it was within driving distance of many of our favorite places!

Some of the places we stopped…

North Ridge Farm

Dena’s Table at North Ridge Farm

⚓️VERMILION⚓️

Friends…look at this place!!!

A nautical inspired, boutique hotel that has every detail thoughtfully done. From the black, white and green color story to the vintage nautical decor. To the rooms stocked with real glassware and serving pieces for late night snacking to the shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash in the bathroom incase you forgot yours.

You truly feel as though a lot of love was poured into creating the Breje Inn

When I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Nicole and her daughter Eva, it all made sense. They are both so sweet and down to Earth and they want your stay with them to be absolutely perfect.

Nicole spent some time with us Friday morning telling us all about this barn, built in 1860, moved twice and how it landed in its current home in Vermilion in 1910. We really loved and appreciated sleeping in a structure with so much history.

Nicole and her husband have 5 children and you will find 5 rooms available at the inn. The word Breje was created using the first initial in each of their names. So thoughtful 💕

The Breje Inn is available to rent year round. Grab a room for a mini stay in Vermilion or book the whole house for a family gathering or wedding. It is so beautiful and unique, you will LOVE it!

The only thing worth noting is that trains run through Vermilion a lot. We turned on a little white noise at night and slept perfectly!

〰️〰️〰️

Lastly, they are having a little Fall Market on November 7th from noon to 4 pm. A few of my friends will be set up there! Make an afternoon of it and come get a little glimpse of this new place to stay!

This cozy blue neutral mock neck quietly launched this past weekend and I can hardly believe it’s almost gone!

Yes! Almost SOLD OUT!

Mock necks are having a big moment right now, but one thing I’m told over and over and over again is how soft mine are. Coziness is always important to me so I love hearing this!

A handful of new colors are arriving throughout the next several weeks so be sure to keep an eye out! 👀👀👀

Did someone say European Antiques? ✨✨✨

Brian and I spent a night in Amish Country…a Christmas gift from my in-laws. It was so peaceful and serene. We slept with the windows open listening to the stillness and sounds of nature.

We spent Monday driving from little town to little town. Brian was the driver and navigator and I was simply along for the ride. He first took me to Millersburg.

We parked the car and the moment I got out, the Alyssa | European Inspired Living was the very first thing I saw. I was so excited because I had shopped here before, but it had been years! I was even more excited because it was 9 something on a Monday morning and they were OPEN!!!

Technically, they open at 10, but the girl that was working said sometimes she likes to get there a little earlier because she knows people are out and about.

THANK YOU!!!

The Cottonwood Shanty is so damn dreamy. Honestly, I just had to take a moment (a long moment) to look at every piece of beautifulness.

I fell in love with a stack of vintage wood crates. They were more than I wanted to spend, but based on my recent shopping, real French antiques were starting to make their way into my decor at home. I knew I had to have this authentic, vintage, chippy, warm, creamy white crate.

With the holidays upon us, I know I will use it first in my holiday decor. It may even make an appearance at the coffee shop!

I love finding beautiful and unique shops and I love even more when they stick around for years! I see that they’re opening a second location in New Albany!

Add this shop to your list. You’ll love it!

Dining on the porch at Nemo Grille is always a beautiful idea ✨ Last night I shared a beautiful 2 hour dinner with my mom. Just me and her… The temperature was absolutely perfect, the sun kissed the space just perfectly and I just kept thinking how beautiful my mom is.

I ordered my favorite dish, the scallops and she went for the clam & shrimp pasta special. I instantly regretted my decision when they delivered our dinner. Her pasta looked incredible.

Think it would be weird if I returned tonight to order it? lol

Worth noting…

This porch (a favorite of mine) is even open during colder months. We celebrated NYE here!
