If your closet’s been craving a little nostalgia, the Fall Vintage Market at Wolfe & Porter has your fix. From retro fashion to old-school homewares, vendors like Out the Closet Vintage, Golden Poppy Vintage, and Scarlett Oaks Vintage will have you swooning over one-of-a-kind finds. Bonus: Bold Batch Creamery will be scooping up joy by the pint.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d let you know if it was). We just like the idea of pairing corduroy jackets with ice cream cones. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).

📖 Your life story—or your parents’—deserves to be told beautifully.
We’ve all said, “Someone should really write this down” after hearing an incredible story from a parent or grandparent. But life gets busy, and those memories start to fade. That’s why we love what MemoirGhostwriting.com is doing.
They make it easy to turn a lifetime of memories, lessons, and stories into a beautifully written memoir—whether it’s for yourself, your parents, or someone else in your family. Through warm, personal interviews and the work of experienced writers, they create a book you’ll be proud to pass down.
It’s not just about history—it’s about identity, legacy, and love. It’s never too early—or too late—to get it all down.
