Elsie's Eight | November Edition

Here at Elsie Green, we have cultivated a culture of extreme inspiration - good books, delicious recipes, photographs, films, and any and everything in between. 
 
This month, we rounded up what our shop gals are dreaming of wearing to their Thanksgiving dinners. Some are keeping it casual with elevated athleisure, while others are going all out in their most elegant dresses.

But did you know there’s an entire institute dedicated to their legacy right here in Richmond? The Eames Institute is a hidden gem that’s a must-visit for anyone who loves design, creativity, or just wants to dive into some fascinating history.

We love a good list. We all have notes in our phones of all the shops that we have heard about that we want to visit or that are tried and true staples for us.

A few of our shop gals are self proclaimed 'finance girlies' - they share all of their financial reads, good podcasts to listen to and tips and tricks to get the most out of their hard earned paychecks.

Chasing Beauty | Life Lessons Found in the French Countryside

100 Things That Made My Year | 2023 Edition

All the Elsie Green girls have been inspired by Austin Kleon's list of "100 Things That Made My Year (2022)" and we've started creating our own lists.  It's a simple, but effective exercise in finding the joy in the every day. 

Thank you Austin for the inspiration.  And thank you to all the people who made this a damn good year.

Embracing Trust

Embracing Trust

I love resolutions.  I always have.  The thought of having a fresh start on January first is an inspiration to me.  I can do anything I want, be anything I want, feel any way I want, as long as I set my intention, and follow through.

Simple Pleasures

"Make it simple, but significant."  - Don Draper

Those words have always resonated with me.  Now more than ever because I only have six days in December when all three of my children will be in the same state.
