Another one for the books! @trade_secretsct was a feast for the eyes and senses. We were able to tour @michaeltrappinc ‘s Cornwall garden and shop yesterday. And then headed over to the shopping extravaganza today where we spotted the legendary @marthastewart48 and @bunnys_eye at @limerockpark Funds raised support Project Sage, a nonprofit supporting victims of domestic abuse. Thank you to @cindyinsharon for a few of the trade secrets shots. 🙏🥰🌸 #nwct #litchfieldcounty #gardens #gardentour #connecticut

TRADE SECRETS: this weekend. If you know, you know. If you don’t, and you love gardens and everything garden related, you do not want to miss this weekend. Today was a preview day at the uber talented @bunnys_eye estate in Falls Village. I’ve toured Bunny’s gardens many times over the years and it never gets old. What a treasure to have in our midst. All funding for these tours goes to support Project Sage, an important resource in our community for victims of domestic abuse. Saturday is for amazing garden tours. Sunday is for book signings with @marthastewart and Bunny Williams and shopping the amazing plant and garden antiques sale at Lime Rock Park. Go to @trade_secretsct for tickets.

Had so much fun during our girl’s weekend in Salisbury, CT! We loved staying at @9academyct : An inspired guesthouse for the modern traveller featuring three luxurious suites centrally located in the heart of charming Salisbury village. Owners Charles Teti and Aidan Cassidy have backgrounds in high-end fashion and residential interiors, and it shows in this beautiful property. Every detail is so well thought out and very comfortable. While in Salisbury we: enjoyed tacos on taco night at the @whitehart_inn , dinner at @fern_lakeville , snacks from @labonnes , breakfast at @sweetwilliamsbakery . We hiked a portion of the Appalachian Trail, stopping along the way to take in the beautiful natural scenery, and all in all thoroughly enjoyed imagining we lived in Salisbury! Highly recommend staying or having your guests stay at @9academyct ! #salisburyct #litchfieldcounty #nwct #travel #getaway
