Bookshop Besties Travel Vlog

Join us as we start our new series of visiting Indie Bookshops across the world! This week our destination is Solvang, California, home of The Book Loft! The store manager, Donna, was an absolute gem and we loved her enthusiasm for her shop. Let us know what bookshop you'd want us to feature next and we wish you a lovely week!
Apologies for the audio quality, we have learned not to edit in iMovie ever again 😂!

🌞 FAQS:
Where are you located?
945 12th St, Suite C, Paso Robles, CA 93446
Do you ship internationally?
Unfortunately not; due to the heavy nature of books, it costs anywhere between $40-100 to ship one of our mystery boxes to anywhere outside of the US. If you really want to support us and are willing to pay that much in addition to the price of the product, just send us an email and we can work with you to ensure you get your books! But we also encourage you to find your own locally-owned bookstore and support them! ❤️

OMGGG LADIES!!! Missed you both, what a great video as always!! The dancing in the book store had me rolling!! ❤

[@saraduty8972]

I loved you are supporting other book sellers and you traveled to their shop. Hope to see more in the future. I'm living vicariously through you guys!

Oh heck yeah! I’m in California and will be writing these bookstores down! There’s a bookstore in Modesto,CA that just opened about a year ago called Bookish and it’s super cute!

[@bookshopbesties]

Oh how cool, we’ll definitely be checking it out! Thank you for the recommendation! :)

Looking forward to your travels. I'm craving that sunshine. I've been living in Europe the past six years. Traveling to neighboring countries is so quick and affordable here. I'm in Scotland and the bookstores in the UK are divine. I may be returning to the states next year, so I'm quite interested in your touring. I'm a book lover and currently working out the logistics of transferring my own book business abroad in the future. ❤ 📚 🧳

[@bookshopbesties]

Thank you, this is so kind! Can’t wait to someday travel to see the UK bookshops, we hear they’re magical there! We appreciate your support so so much! ❤️

@@bookshopbesties I hope you get to visit soon, you’ll love it here. It’s so green and lush

[@jessicaarend]

The music is very distracting, especially while you're talking, so I could do without! But glad you girls had a fun trip!

[@bookshopbesties]

There was an issue with it when exporting, the music was meant to be much lower but iMovie messed it up. Thank you for your feedback though, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

Oh, I was waiting to be asked to be maid of honour. I guess Carla makes sense too

[@square111]

...I forget the name of this is still the one I picked at 14. Oh well, I'll remain a man of mystery

[@bookshopbesties]

Pretty sure I know who this is, bruv 🤣
