I got to live my Magnolia and HGTV dreams last week for my birthday. 🎂 I’ve been a huge fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines for a very long time. So we went all out and did the whole experience and spent a couple days doing everything we could. We toured The Cottonland Castle. Which was stunning. We stayed at on my birthday. Which they surprised me with a birthday 🎂 card and cheesecake in my room. ❤️ We had dinner and drinks outside at Bertie’s on the rooftop. We got to watch the sunset and see the city. We did the Silos Tour and got to the roof top to see the view. I shopped to I dropped and got a whole bunch of things in the shops. We also took a flower press workshop and got to make a piece each. That was amazing. We had a lovely dinner at Magnolia Table. We saw where it all began at the first shop Joanna and Chip started. We had dinner at The Brasserie as well at the hotel. We also did amazing tour of the Gristmill where Joanna shoots her cooking show. That kitchen is a dream. That limestone and place was stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and birthday week. I have so many pictures.
