Living in Strafford has a sneaky superpower: you’re close enough to the White Mountains (and a couple of southern NH gems) that a legit winter getaway doesn’t have to be a whole production. You can wrap up your workday, toss the boots in the trunk, and be eating nachos by a fireplace before you’ve even had time to overthink [...]

At Profound Real Estate, community is at the heart of everything we do—and there's nothing more powerful than coming together to support one of our own. We’re honored to co-host a special Candle Making Workshop to benefit the beloved Isla Saunders and her family.

Join us Friday, August 23rd from 4:30 - 6 PM at the Independence Inn at Bow Lake for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and compassion. Whether you're a candle-making pro or a complete beginner, you’ll leave with something beautiful—and the knowledge that 100% of proceeds will go directly to the Saunders family.

In addition to the workshop, you’ll be able to shop a selection of handmade products, with all purchases helping support Isla’s journey. This is the first candle workshop of the season, and we have a feeling it’s going to sell out fast—so keep your eyes peeled this Friday when tickets go live!

This special event is proudly hosted by Stevens Farmhouse’s. We are so grateful for their generosity and partnership.

Becca Stevens, Kaitlin Whitcher, and the entire Profound team are proud to stand beside this family and the incredible Bow Lake community.

Let’s light the way for Isla—together.
