Today we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave everything in the name of our country. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is more than a holiday. It’s a reminder of sacrifice, courage, service, and the families who continue carrying that loss every single day. To all who have served, supported, sacrificed, and loved someone in uniform… thank you. We remember and honor you today and always ❤️

POV: You came to the mountains for “a quiet weekend” and somehow ended up at live music, karaoke, trivia night, a vineyard, the drive-in, and planning your next outing before this one even ends 😂

Memorial Weekend and the week ahead are PACKED around Clayton and Rabun County. We’re talking live music, bingo, markets, wine, weekly favorites, family fun, and enough things to do to keep your group chat busy all week long.

So grab the friends, the family, the fur babies, and maybe a rain jacket… because the mountains are still mountain-ing regardless of the weather ☺️

Swipe through for the lineup and make sure to follow us + watch our stories so you never miss what’s happening around the mountains.

Every purchase at is more than just shopping. ❤️✨

It’s helping provide safe housing, education, dignity, and meaningful work for women and children impacted by human trafficking in South Asia. 🌍🫶🏽

What started with one woman asking, “Why isn’t someone doing something?” has now helped change thousands of lives across the world.

And somehow, we’re lucky enough to have a beautiful little shop like this right here in our mountain town. 🏔️🤍 Shopping local here truly creates a global impact.

Shop with purpose. Shop Rahab’s Rope. 🧵✨
