Holiday markets, Virginia edition
|
Hi friends, Quick note to say: if you’re anywhere near Haymarket, VA this Saturday, something quietly good is happening. The Holiday Bazaar + tree lighting is one of those small-town afternoons where streets close, music drifts, kids zigzag between booths, and time slows down just enough to notice it. If you’ve ever lived overseas — especially in Europe — you might recognize the feeling. Holiday markets had a way of doing that. This feels like our version. I’ll be there with Weld + Wire Jewelry Bar, tucked into the mix on Washington Street, welding bracelets and anklets for anyone who wants to pause for a few minutes while the town does its thing around them. Mostly, this is just permission to explore your own backyard. To support local vendors. To support a military spouse-owned small business if that matters to you. Or to just wander, drink something warm, and let the season show up without forcing it. 📍 15000 Washington Street, Haymarket, VA If you come, I hope I run into you. xo, PS... If you've read this far here's a secret: my Rock Island Farm Rabbits will be available to snuggle at the W+W booth if you get welded! Come snuggle with us! |

What if, instead of repeating 22 veterans die a day, we actually knew how many survived? What if every hospitalization, every 988 call, every rope or pill a caregiver hid was counted as the prevention it really was? My veteran has survived nine suicide-related hospitalizations since 2014. Each one was a save. But none of them exist in America’s...
