antigua, guatemala – part 1

Travel, Uncategorized / September 23, 2015

you know we went to antigua over labor day, but you don’t know how amazing the town was, how epic the shopping experience turned out, and how delicious the food tasted.  you don’t know about the street dogs, the flavor of the local women, the beauty of the region or the freaking amazing tortilla chips that taste like bbq fritos.

so let me show you.  and if you’re in raleigh, please come join us tonight at the store because i am really genuinely excited to share the things i brought back.  i guarantee just owning one small piece will make you feel lighter and brighter and ready to wander around the world yourself.

if you subscribe to our newsletter, you’ll be getting a cool email today with our travel tips for antigua.     the furbish blog is a great resource for suggestions on where to stay, eat, shop and hang when you visit some of our favorite places.
