💌A little love letter to Richmond.

These beautiful new postcards from local, woman-owned brand Illustrations and custom velvet paintings capture two of our favorite views, the James River winding beneath the bridges and the Richmond skyline we never get tired of.

Whether you’re sending a note to someone far away, framing one for your gallery wall, or keeping it as a reminder of home, these postcards are a small piece of Richmond worth holding onto.

❤️Stop by the shop to pick up your favorite (or both) and support another incredible local maker while you’re here.

We asked Kelly what was in her Sunday Grove bag...

Turns out, the better question was: what wasn’t in her bag?

Hair clips. Baby carrots. Tangled headphones. A knife. Maven Made perfume. Approximately half of the great outdoors... 🪨

Luckily, our handmade Sunday Grove bags are built to keep up. Each one is thoughtfully crafted from secondhand materials, giving beautiful textiles a second life and making every bag completely one of a kind.

Each bag is unique. Stop in and find one for you or a friend soon…

Give your favorite candle a second life. ✨

Our refill program makes it easy to keep the vessels you love in rotation while reducing waste. Instead of tossing an empty candle jar, refill it with fresh, clean-burning soy wax in your favorite scent, or discover a new one. There are two ways to get a refill:

🕯️ If you have one of our standard 8 oz. jars, Astrology Candles, or Wax Melts, bring it into the shop and swap it for a new one to receive $3 off.

🕯️ Have your own vessel you’d like refilled? Place your order online or come directly into the shop, drop off your vessel, and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for pickup.

Why refill?

➡️ Reduce waste

➡️ Reuse the pieces you already love

➡️ Lower your environmental impact

➡️ Enjoy the same clean ingredients you trust

Stop by the shop or send us a message if you have questions, we’re always happy to help. 🤍
