Our P+P Creative Club Charleston Weekend!

Happy Wednesday, y’all! Have you joined in on the P+P Creative Club fun yet? We started this digital platform almost a year ago as a way to bring creative women together to inspire one another, share business information, and build a community full of likeminded individuals who are on the path to create the life they want. If you are on the hunt for a way to connect with new friends and hear from experts in multiple different creative fields, Creative Club is the place to be! And what’s even better… Membership is FREE at the Friends level and just $85/month for our Besties who receive our monthly Happy Mail full of our very favorite products we are loving at the moment.

One of the most exciting parts of this community is our in person events, and we were over the moon to finally bring this group of women together in Charleston two weeks ago for a weekend of fun! Over the course of three days, we had the chance to meet and mingle with the loveliest group of creative women in addition to hearing from an all star line up of speakers who shared their stories, advice, and learning lessons in business with us. Sprinkle in the fact that we had the most picturesque city of Charleston as our backdrop, jaw dropping and beautiful locations for our events, and the most impeccable hotel, The Dewberry, as our host, and you have yourself a weekend that we all will be buzzing about for months to come! Check out a full recap of the events below!

If you’re planning an upcoming trip to Charleston and are on the hunt for the perfect hotel, look no further than The Dewberry. There are not enough words to properly describe the level of perfection every detail in this hotel exudes! From the beautiful lobby and lounge, to the picture perfect rooftop bar and restaurant, Citrus Club, to the immaculate guest rooms, this Dewberry Group property is the epitome of Charleston class and charm. A huge thank you to Jaimie Dewberry and her incredible team for hosting our members!

Some Like it Hot Cocktail Party

We kicked off the weekend with a spicy cocktail hour hosted by Molly Fienning and Red Clay Hot Sauce! While sipping on Red Clay’s signature Spicy Margarita, our attendees had the chance to meet one other and starting forming the connections that would continue to flourish over the next few days. We enjoyed light but seriously tasty bites by local Charleston Vietnamese chef, Little Miss Ha, and got to listen in as Gen and Molly, founder of Babiators and Red Clay, chatted about the power of leveraging female relationships in business. And if you’d like to try those tasty spicy margs at home, Red Clay was generous enough to offer our friends a discount code! Use CREATIVECLUB to receive 20% off your purchase now!

Coffee Q+A at The Dewberry

In the beautiful morning sunlight of The Dewberry’s rooftop Rivers Room, we started Saturday by sipping coffee and enjoying house made pastries with all of our friends and listening to an inspiring line up of panel speakers. Venita Aspen, who has an incredible holiday collection launching with CROSBY by Mollie Burch later this year, and Emily Hertz, who has her second collection with Antonio Melani for Dillard’s launching next Spring, shared their insight around brand collaborations, Catalina Gonzalez and Kayce Hughes spoke about the importance of women supporting women, and Chassity Evans and Neely and Chloe Burch expanded upon the importance of building your own brand!

Shopping Soiree on King Street

After a morning packed full of inspiration, we took the streets of Charleston and popped into some of our very favorite local spots including Hampden Clothing, Amanda Lindroth, LAKE, and of course, an antique shop or two!

Happy Hour at LAKE

We finished the day at the sweet storefront of LAKE, our absolute favorite spot for the comfiest pj’s! (P.S. LAKE is currently having their big summer sale, so if you don’t already own one of their dreamy lounge sets, whimsical summer dresses, or timeless pima cotton robes, now is the time to snap them up!) Gen was joined by interior designer guru, Olivia Brock, and the two chatted about Olivia’s design process, her inspiration for LAKE’s retail space, and some of her favorite projects to date. And if this shop wasn’t sweet enough already, Caroline’s Cakes treated us to some of their delicious cake bites and signature 7 layer rainbow cake!

“Create the Life You Want” Brunch at The Post House Inn

What better way to wrap up an amazing weekend of events than with a quaint Sunday brunch? We headed over the bridge to the MOST charming spot in Mt. Pleasant, The Post House Inn, and enjoyed a delicious family style brunch on their picture perfect patio with all of our new friends . To close out our lineup of speakers, we had the privilege of hearing from Hanna Seabrook, owner of the genius branding and creative agency, Gadabout, and Stephanie Summerson Hall, owner of one of our very favorite small businesses, Estelle Colored Glass! Hearing about the unique professional journeys of both of these incredibly talented female creatives was the perfect way to end our weekend together and left all of those in attendance inspired and encouraged to go and create the life they want!

Our 2021 Charleston Gift Bags!

Finally, it wouldn’t be a P+P event without a gift bag filled with our very favorite goodies, and this year we were lucky enough to feature products from ALL female owned businesses! From darling custom travel bags by Christy Lynn Collection, to playful printed masks from the whimsical and colorful brand, CROSBY by Mollie Burch, to The Dewberry’s signature scented candle, to the most charming gold stud earrings by Nicola Bathie Jewelry, to pretty patterned hair accessories by Cleobella, to the sweetest signature heart beaded bracelet by local jewelry designer, Hart Hagerty, this bag was filled to the brim with goodies that we knew all of our attendees would love!
