When we moved to Ojai a few years ago, one of our main goals was to get out of the city and surround ourselves in nature. Whenever we forget how lucky we are, we just look up at the thousands of stars above the mountains - something the city life can't give you. Photo by @amandagnwn
We love Enid and Edgar Vintage!
We love Enid and Edgar Vintage! Nestled in our own little Meiner's Oaks neighborhood, the shop is set up like a tiny village with vintage clothing and accessories, and lots of open-air shopping. This photo is from the shop's fabulous feature in @the.ojai.vortex, shot by @aribeckerstudio!
It's not quite summer yet, but we're headed to Summer Camp!
It's not quite summer yet, but we're headed to Summer Camp! Owned & operated by Ojai locals Rachel & Michael Graves, @shopsummercamp is a home, lifestyle, and custom framing shop full of amazing home goods, gifts, and vintage finds. We love to shop & decorate local at The Yellow Nest.
Every Sunday in April, the Open Air Seaside Market took place in Ventura!
Every Sunday in April, the Open Air Seaside Market took place in Ventura! This show included lots of handcrafted goods, made by local artists, as well as home decor, lawn & garden ideas for all of your spring aspirations. We enjoyed music from the main stage as we shopped for home decor, art & crafts, lawn & garden, health & wellness, services, quilting, wood working, metal art, photography, and much more. The event is free and open to the public, and is a great ocean getaway as it gets hotter up here in Ojai!

We celebrated the spring's arrival with an outdoor wine walk, street vendors, and of course, the beach! At the Ventura Wine Walk & Street Fair.
We were excited to trek out to the Spring Arts & Crafts Festival in Newbury Park
We were excited to trek out to the Spring Arts & Crafts Festival in Newbury Park, also in March. A great way to support local vendors and artisans while staying safely outdoors and distanced - plus it's free!
We celebrated the first weekend of March with @topatopabrewingco in Ojai!
We celebrated the first weekend of March with @topatopabrewingco in Ojai! You can order crowlers to go from their taproom in downtown Ojai, which is a great alternative to sitting at their patio depending on how comfortable you are, and a great way to support local business no matter your situation. We're going to have ours in our beautiful Yellow Nest courtyard.
Never a bad time to share a stunning scenic of beautiful Ojai!
