“I cannot live without books.” — Thomas Jefferson
Does anyone need a quick getaway? We visited Charlottesville on Saturday; it was just the right combination of distance and fun. Here are some of our favorite observations.
Follow Jefferson’s Advice.

Blue Whale Books on the Historic Downtown Mall offers gently used books for sale. We were naturally drawn to the one pictured above!
Style your winter garden.

The Ivy Nursery, just down the road, combines good taste and on-trend style and practicality to ensure that your home’s exterior is as chic as the interior.
Indulge in good taste.


The Caspari Shop on the downtown mall will make you swoon with delight. The store features a large variety of paper goods, including cards, wrap and tags, combined with other entertaining essentials.
Meet your prince (or Mouse King).

While strolling the mall, stop at Magpie Knits; you might meet the Nutcracker or the Mouse King. These adorable critters shared a basket with other (lesser known) characters of “The Nutcracker” ballet. We’ve asked Santa for the entire set.
Find solace before the Winter Soltice.

Before the chilly weather sets in, visit Magpie Knits for needlepoint and knitting supplies. You might also find a thing or two for folks on your Christmas list.
