Surprise! I’m Moving To…

Okay, so this may seem a little random. And, in a way, it kind of is. But, random or not, I’m moving. At the end of this month.

To…Atlanta!

We move in less than two weeks and I couldn’t be more excited for a new city to explore.

For anyone that’s been following along, Jeff and I moved back to Jax two years ago, after spending a year in Seattle. And while we love the place where we bought our first home, all those years ago, it’s time to move on and explore some other options. So, Atlanta, here we come!

I think ATL is going to be a great place for us to be. And while I’m slightly nervous about moving to a new city, I’m pretty confident that it will be a good match career-wise as well… I already have my first ATL event lined up, so it looks like I’ll be hitting the ground running when I get there. Sharing all the details on that event later this week, for anyone who is interested.

For now, though, I’m just excited to be able to share this little bit of news that I’ve been keeping quiet about for the last couple of weeks. By the way, I’m kind of high-fiving myself (in my head) for not accidentally sharing the news before now. Honestly, it’s been hard to keep tight lipped, but I wanted to be 100% certain, no turning back, that we were FOR SURE moving before I said anything.

So, yeah. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I would love your help with something, if you happen to have a minute or two…I’ve visited Atlanta a handful of times in the past, but I’m still not all that familiar with the different neighborhoods, restaurants, shopping, etc. So, if you have any suggestions for me – cool shops, interesting things to do, the best place to get an ice cream cone, etc – I’d love for you to share.

And if you live in Atlanta, it’d be great to meet up. Bonus points if you are a photographer who likes working with bloggers…I’m looking for a local photographer that would be interested in working with me on some upcoming projects (paid, of course) and beyond.

Congrats Brittni! I’ve been living in Atlanta for a little over a year now and absolutely love it. Plenty of suggestions to help you get to know the city better: Young Blood Boutique (dreamiest store ever), Victory Sandwich Bar, Crafted Westside (right by more work and features some insanely talented local makers), Octane, Jeni’s Ice Cream, so many other awesome places! Feel free to get in touch, there’s a FB group that I think you’ll be interested in joining, especially for networking and collaborating.

WooHoo! I’m so excited about your move to Atlanta. I’m an Atlanta photographer who would love to work with you! I will send you a message. There are so many great neighborhoods to explore and fabulous restaurants. Oh…and I tell everyone that they must visit Sublime Doughnuts. The name says it all!

Yum! Sounds delicious. I’ll definitely be checking it out, Christina. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Forgot to mention, in all my King of Pops excitement, that their flavors are killer. Chocolate Sea Salt is my favorite, but they’ve had Earl Gray before, and now have some fun flavors like blackberry ginger lemonade ….and even Arnold Palmer, ha!

Christina

So excited for your new adventure!!! Also, those popsicles Christina mentioned above sound like they need to make it to the top of your priority list.

So glad to hear that, Alex. Excited to be moving in less than two weeks.

Atlanta is a wonderful city to move to! I moved here from Chicago about a year and a half ago for grad school and I love it. Always something to new to explore and events to attend. I have a degree in photography and this city really does give me the chance to let my creative energy flow when I need a break from the law school life.

Hope you love it here! 🙂

Alex

Adventure awaits! Lucky girl 🙂

Jana

Oh gosh, there’s SO MUCH to do here in Atlanta. Still trying to find the perfect ice cream, but the PERFECT popsicles are from King of Pops. You can find them at any farmers market in the city and in some local restaurants and coffee shops.

Make sure you explore the Beltline! And look into Indie Craft Experience if you haven’t heard of it already! http://www.ice-atlanta.com

Do you know what neighborhood you’ll be moving to? Some great little pockets are East Atlanta Village (I’m biased – that’s my neck of the woods – be sure to check out Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop and Holy Taco!), Grant Park, and Little Five Points.

We also find ourselves in Oakhurst and Ormewood Park a lot. 🙂

P.S. I’m an Atlanta photographer who focuses on offering photography for creatives (that includes bloggers!) I’d love to grab a cup of coffee when you make the move and chat about the city, blogging, and maybe a little collaborating…? Good luck with everything!

Christina

That is so exciting! I live a little north of Atlanta, although I’ve lived here my entire life, I’m not super familiar with the city itself. Can’t wait to hear more about your new adventure!

There is a such a great creative sewing community in ATL. A hotbed for fabric design! Half the Cotton and Steel group is there. And then some.
