meet the whitakers
We are Hailey and Lacey Whitaker. We were married in 2021 and have the best little pups, River & Phinmore. We were both raised in rural areas and feel very fond of a slow life but also love the city. Richmond has become home for us the past six years & we are excited to share this dream with you all.
We are inspired by the simplicity in life & how a simple caprese appetizer or a shot of fernet evokes joy & home. We feel most connected when a candle is burning, wine is being opened, and especially in our home, when popcorn is being made for our favorite enamel bowl. All of our scents and goods are inspired by a memory or something that reminds our little family of home together. We hope you come along on our voyage to new waters as a small, family- owned business in Richmond, Virginia.
