ALEXANDRIA
Volume 9 is a celebration of the remarkable individuals who make our beloved town of Alexandria so special. Within these pages, you’ll discover extraordinary business owners, innovative creatives, skilled artisans, and hardworking makers who add so much vibrance and character to our community. We created this guide to serve as a valuable resource, an endless source of inspiration, and a tool for readers to connect with these cherished independent businesses that we value so much.
Here are a few ways we encourage you to use this guide:
EXPLORE
Designed for both locals and travelers, this guide offers inspiration and insights for living beautifully, living well, and living like an insider, wherever you may be. We not only shine a spotlight on the incredible business owners that are a part of TSG Alexandria, but we also strive to share all the must - see and must - do spots our town has to offer. There’s no gatekeeping here we delight in sharing our local favorites with our readers!
COLLECT
Considerable time and creativity go into producing these guides annually, with the hope that they become a cherished keepsake in your home. We love nothing more than when our readers collect and proudly display these books in their entryways, styled on a coffee table, or in guest rooms to share with visitors. Collect them during your travels and showcase all the gorgeous colors in your personal library. And don’t forget to keep one handy as a quick reference when you’re out exploring all that Alexandria has to offer.
CONNECT
In addition to the beautifully printed guide, you can find daily doses of inspiration from these remarkable individuals on our Instagram feed. Follow @TSGalexandria for insights, events, and our editor’s favorites around this town we adore!
We hope you will enjoy using this guide as much as we enjoyed creating it. We look forward to seeing you around town soon!

The Napkin Network is a 501c3 non - profit organization of moms helping moms in need. Through our compassionate and thriving "mom communities," we source basic baby essentials and get them into the hands on moms in need through our own pantry, The Napkin Nook, via partnerships with underfunded non - profits and schools as well as direct services. Together, we strive to create a judgement free network that nurtures and uplifts mothers in their journey of parenthood.
