You’ve no doubt heard about this winter storm that’s headed our way so we thought we’d share some of things we’re doing to prepare.

Forget the milk, stock up on books - no screens means you’re finally have time to catch up on all that reading. Give yourself options by stocking up at your local library (we love the Oberlin Regional Library) or bookstore ( always has a great selection)

Snowproof spirits with a hot toddy - mix all ingredients together and put in a thermos to keep warm!
- 2 cups apple cider
- ½ cup bourbon or dark rum
- 2 tbsp honey (more to taste)
- 1 strip orange peel (or a splash of OJ)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves (optional but lovely)

Make your coffee, now - avoid a caffeine withdrawal by making your weekend coffee ahead of time. Worst case scenario you have to drink it iced, but that’s better than no coffee at all if you ask us.

Cook your bacon ahead of time - we maintain cold bacon is elite. It’s also a morale booster. You’re going to want to have it on hand.

Keep bevvies warm in a thermos - bonus if you have the old school thermoses on hand. They’ll keep anything warm for hours and hours.

Don’t pack up your Christmas sweater quite yet - that bad boy just scored another wear this season. If yours is chunky and warm it’s going to be perfect for a re-wear.

Life’s a picnic with you 🧡

As the leaves turn golden and the air turns crisp, we are reveling in spending time outdoors in the cool autumn air. Our fall picnic is filled with fresh flowers, seasonal decor, and various vintage decor like antique tennis racquets, thermoses, and books.

We wait all year for this 🧡

Fall is absolute favorite time of year for picnics in Raleigh. The temperatures drop, the leaves turn golden, and life just feels a little slower. To make our fall picnics feels extra cozy, we add in antiques books, lanterns, thermoses to give our picnics a vintage fall-like feel. Tartan blankets and picnic baskets add a layer of seasonal warmth to our picnic settings too.

Finally, it’s nearly Fall 🧡
