Thankyou everyone for an amazing sale at our home! We underestimated the turnout and it really took us by surprise. All the support of my friends and family who pitched in were so incredible and helpful and I owe them a huge dose of gratitude. Thankyou so much! It was fantastic to see all the friends/customers that showed and I’m glad you all went away with a smile on your face and a prize in your hands. We topped off Saturday night with a barbecue and a much needed rest and cold beverage (not just lemonade mind you…). Anyways, we’ve got everything pulled together and cleaned up now. With a few things left, we are extending one more invitation for  4 hours this upcoming Saturday, July 21st from 10am to 2pm. There are certainly some great things left! You can also see them on the website www.honeybs.com

IT’S ALMOST SALE TIME! Lots coming up this month of July and I’m so very pleased with the collection I’ve prepared this year! I’m sure it will be the best ever!

Coming up first, I’ve joined up with the East Village Stampede Breakfast & Vintage Market on July 7th at the historic Simmons Building. Its a great kick-off to summer and participate in an event that is both supportive to the community and fun to do! I’m going to have a selection of my best stuff  so try to make it, I think it’s going to be a great time!

Also on the agenda are two sales being held simultaneously on July 14 and 15th.  Honey B’s Annual Antique & Vintage Sale AND our Living Estate Sale. It’s incredible what I can squeeze into this home, but I’m ready to purge some of our personal items and enjoy the task of refeathering my nest! So be prepared for a very large, very busy sales event. Prices are going to be really great as we intend to clear out. Keep in mind that these sales are being advertised to Honey B’s customers only….so you have first opportunity! I will likely have a followup sale to the public (date to be determined).

My family and I recently returned from a visit my sister Sue who has a beautiful little place in Summerlin, Nevada. It was an amazing, restful holiday. One of those real awakenings where you realize life can be lived differently than what you are currently doing and if you are brave enough to make that step it can lead you to exciting and rewarding possibilities for the future. Afterall, we aren’t getting younger!!

Though we had considered a change before, this trip just gave us the push we needed! Winter in Calgary has become to us (like many others), something we don’t look so forward to!  The idea of having an alternate home in warmer climates has become a real dream. How do we make this happen?.. sell our  current home, free up our investments and pursue other life interests. Exploring possible winter destinations, owning a little cottage on the sea, or just travelling for the next year sounds perfectly appealing!

I will certainly miss some of the personal features and love we put into this home, and we’ve been so blessed to have almost 9 years here. We will always have great memories of it. Our new “Calgary” home has been selected and I have the exciting job of bringing it to it’s full potential. It is simpler which will fit into our new plan perfectly. I’ve emailed all my customers the details of our Parkdale home in case somebody is interested! But here are the photos again for the blog. These pics don’t show the fully finished basement which has a huge bright recreation room, bar with storage room, one bedroom, a full bath and laundry room.

If you or anybody you know is interested, call Murray Brown at 403-540-1841. Our home will be listed on MLS next Thursday, May 10th!
