Honey Bend

Decorating the Nest and other news

My head has been filled with ideas of decorating the old home on Grant St. for the holidays.   Do you ever just put too much on your plate.  I do I try to be all things I think I should be.  I made an executive decision not to open Honey Bend Vintage back up for the holidays.  We will open back up in January or February.  We will continue with the schedule of the second week of every month.  Between the busy retail management job and family life I just could not do it.  I really want to enjoy this holiday season.  Most people want to stay open during this time, but for me the shop is a hobby and it is one that has to go to the back burner for now~  So look for us after the holidays to reopen~

I'm doing it~

I have always dreamed of having a flea once a month offering vintage finds, handmade goods and some gift items.  Since I can't do that in a brick amd morter, I am doing it at Honey Bend Vintage .    We will be closing on Sunday November 23rd and we will reopen on Sunday December 7th for one week only.  Going forward we will reopen the second week of every month.  We will offer some our favorites vintage horse ribbons, five and dime and ribbon by the yard.  We will try to change it up monthly.  We will offer a new category  "The Farm Fresh Market" .  There will be a few spots monthly for fellow merchants to share their wares.  Kind of like renting a booth, but you don't have to rent it is free.  The one catch is you have to have a blog to advertise Honey Bend Vintage's Farm Fresh Market button.  If your interested pop me an email to bristol@honeybendvintage.com  .   I will pick up to 5 ladies a month.   We will need pictures from you of product, we will post those with the name of your business and a little bio and link to your site where they can purchase your merchandise.    Sunday evening we will upload new horse ribbons and by Monday some fun burlap wine bags and sleeves.

See you soon~

Pink Pretties For Sale

I just added a cute little addition to Honey Bend Vintage .  A cute little bag filled with pink glass marbles included in the bag are some cute pink extras.  This one has a ballerina.  We will be adding one with some other baubles soon.  These are perfect to add to a gift or just a little pink gifty to a friend.  Add a cute tag  with the perfect note.  I also need some advice from all you sweet girls in blog land. I have been toying with the idea that I would start after the holidays.  I have thought about opening Honey Bend Vintage just one week out of the month, kind of like a virtual flea market.  It is so difficult to run an online shop and work a full time job, this way I could plan it out.  I have been thinking about doing this in a brick and morter in our community every couple of months as well.  Send me a little shout out with your thoughts and I will put you in a drawing for a bottle of german glass glitter(fine silver)  If you have any other ideas send me a note bcottage@hotmail.com .  I love comments be sure to leave one by Sunday.  Have a great weekend~

Lil' Cowboy on Halloween

   My name is Griffin and I am 5.  This is my Halloween on Grant Street.  For some reason I am not into trick or treating. I like to pass candy out with my Dad, I visit neighbors and this year search for my horse.  Do you think I will find him?

                     

                   I took off down the Grant St. trail to find him~

                        

                                  Look what I found on my travels~

                                             

 

I hope you enjoyed your HaLlOwEeN as much as I did!
