Vivian Howard Instagram – What a weekend, Charleston! We could not have asked for a better pocket of weather or more wonderful guests. A heartfelt thanks to all of you who helped us pull off the best dang weekend I’ve had in quite some time.
▫️ @handyandhot for the best-of biscuit lineup and hand pie lunchboxes
▫️ @smitheyironware for the waterfront breakfast views, bts tour of the foundry and custom mini farmhouse skillets for our guests
▫️ @casualcrabbingwithtia for the remarkable crabbing experience that made us all feel successful
▫️ @doarbros for the Amari party happy hour and sharing your expertise
▫️ @dineatlenoir for a family-style taste of ENC
▫️ @chefbjdennis for sharing his Gullah-Geechee culture and delicious crab gravy with us (still thinking about this tbh)
▫️ @jahdemade for lending us their incredible courtyard and helping our guests get their hands working at the leather bench
▫️ @preservationsociety, @buxtonbooks_chs, @shopcandlefish & @croghans for playing along with our scavenger hunt and making things special for the weekenders

▫️ all our pals at @highwirechs and @bluestoneramblers who helped us pull off a really fun welcome party
It takes a village, of course, and I couldn’t have done it without my ride or dies, @baxmiller & @ryanstancil, or without the spirited assistance of my nephew @sam_lavigne1.
Headed home, back to eastern North Carolina, feeling so very grateful for all of this, and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🧡 | Posted on 03/Jun/2024 03:54:27
