And just like that, Volume 12 of The Triad Scout Guide is out!
Every year; I spend months working alongside the most amazing women; Ashley Powell Nosek Ellen Devine Andrea Mott . We spend long days…like, really long days together. All to curate a guide to the very best local businesses, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we created together.
I feel so lucky to be part of this community and to get to be a resource for the businesses and families who make the Triad feel like home. I don’t take that for granted for one second.
And the launch party? That’s always the cherry on top. We keep the cover color a secret until launch day. The invite (designed by our sister company Vie Creative Co.) dropped a few little hints but still kept everyone guessing!
thepyrle was such a dreamy backdrop. This industrial live music venue got completely transformed and softened with florals and lounges from Planner, Designer & Florist. The whole space smelled amazing thanks to the food from 1618 On Location, Crenshaw Darby & Friends filled the room with the smoothest jazz, and Pyrle Bar Staff kept the drinks flowing all night long.
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. I’m so honored to be part of this, and I truly cannot wait for next year!
