The Buzz http://blog.honeybs.com The latest from Honey B's Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:30:31 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 B is Taking a Break! http://blog.honeybs.com/b-is-taking-a-break http://blog.honeybs.com/b-is-taking-a-break#comments Tue, 31 Jul 2012 14:30:30 +0000 Queen B http://blog.honeybs.com/?p=2282 Wow…it’s been an extremely busy summer so far with three sales now behind me, overseeing and building a new house, selling our existing house and all the cleaning and staging that go along with that , packing down (how did I accumulate so much?), working on yard and garden, one child graduating, one getting engaged and two new grandchildren born in June. Family, visitors coming…not to mention just the simple day to day commitments. With all the activity, it would be insane to keep going at this pace! So, I believe a break is now due….a nice long one! Don’t know when I’ll be back… but I know it will be the best thing for me and the family before we all go insane! Hope to kick back, relax, travel a bit and enjoy our new house (decorating quickly being top of the list). Have a great summer everyone!

This is my sweet son last summer and I thought this accurately depicts what we plan to do for awhile…enjoy life!

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

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).

AND….IT’S NOT OVER YET!

EFFECTIVE SATURDAY, JUNE 23rd ALL HONEY B’S ITEMS AT A VINTAGE AFFAIR ARE REDUCED BY 20%

638 – 11th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta
