Honey Bend

Fun Stuff~

We are pointed north to  Lakeside Ohio for our last summer hoorah.    I showed pictures in a previous post of Lakeside when we went for a week in June.  We are going for the closing Labor Day weekend and so excited.  My husband grew up here and loves to go home.    It is the first Labor Day weekend my husband has been able to get away since 1987.  He retired this May as a Sgt. First Class in one of our local police departments.  We have a very crazy busy event called the WEBN fireworks.  They are watched on boths sides of the river in Cincinnati, Ohio, Newport and Covington Kentucky.  My husband was a police officer in Newport, Ky which is an urban area and very challenging.  On the night of the fireworks they all MUST work 12 hours or more and it is nuts.  I could tell you some stories:) 

So this year he won't be working, instead he will be kicking back at the lake.   I am so excited for him!

The cottage where we will be hanging out~~

   

Small space idea No.1

We use every square inch of our 1920's cottage, storage is always about getting creative.  For those who live in an older homes I am sure you can relate.  Don't get me wrong I do love the house on Grant St.   

Notes to the kids and hubby always get lost.  I came up with a perfect way to drop a note and it is never missed.

All you need is some blackboard paint and a brush.  When painting you will need a couple of coats.  The kids love it and so do their friends.  I always find the lovliest messages when they are over~

New horse ribbons

I updated Honey Bend with more vintage horse show ribbons.    All the categories are not fully stocked, we are reworking things a bit and having a new site designed.  We filled those horse show ribbons by customer request so please stop by~

We are back from vacation~  The house is a mess and everyone is worn out, but we had a blast.
