Quirky

Do you know what I love? Shops that are different. Shops that are fun and offer up the unexpected. I’m so tired of the same old stuff. That’s why I LOVE Quirk Gallery here in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia. (Or RVA, as we locals call it) Although I have to admit, I didn’t know that it existed until we moved back to town a few years ago. I’m learning so much about my city and its people now. There’s like this whole other side to Richmond that I never knew about it. It’s actually kind of cool. And cool is exactly what Quirk is. Their online shop is full of unique finds. Trust me, if you need to buy a gift for a friend that is hard to buy for, there is no way you will walk out of Quirk, or click on a new page, without a gift in hand. Some of my faves? This Richmond tote is so super cute!

And check out these cork toast coasters! Too cute to pass up and they would totally complete “the look” for your next cocktail gathering.

And this is just an itsy bitsy sampling of what they have in store. Their jewelry collections are killer too. You must must must check them out. I know that I’ll be headed there for future events and birthdays. Way to go Quirk. In a world full of too many big box stores, you are a breath of fresh air. (even if it is 100% humid, nasty, sticky air) RVA loves you!

P.S. This is the first of many more favorite local spot posts to come! This city is chock full of hidden gems. I can’t wait to keep discovering more. Stay tuned.
