After a year filled with big changes — a cross-country move, sending our oldest off to college, navigating health challenges, and building two businesses — we’re choosing to pause. From December 27 through January 8, Grace & Haven’s physical shop will be closed as we soak in time with family, reset, and prepare for an intentional year ahead. Our online shop will remain open with continued shipping and in-store pickup by appointment. This moment of rest is about returning to what matters most: family, community, and building a business rooted in purpose.
Join Grace & Haven for Sip & Shop for a Cause on Tuesday, 10/26 from 5–7 PM! 20% of all sales—both in-store and online—will be donated to the Breast Friends Fund, supporting metastatic breast cancer research. Look out for Ashley from Gilded Gals’ macarons and signature mocktails at this fun, heartfelt evening of giving back!
🎃 Join us for the Ivoryton Pumpkin Festival this Saturday!
