411 on The Hive

2.20.12- 

  By now you might have seen this ticket stub up on my sidebar & you might be wondering what it's all about especially if you've never had the pleasure of coming to a Hive before. 

Well..... let me tell you. 

The Hive is an idea I came up with 2 years ago about getting a few of my creative friends together under one roof to showcase amazing vintage, one of a kind, charming products along side of my  Hollyhocks & Honeybees products.  It has changed & evolved each time which I am happy to say has taught me lessons & I've learned what to try to do better at each Hive.  

{Since this is #5, look-out!  It's going to be amazing!}

I don't like to use the word "boutique" {so I won't anymore} just because I feel it gets overused & brings to mind a collection of tons of vendors all squished into one space. 

{I have used it just because people have an idea that it is at least more than one person selling their goods}

So that being said The Hive is a delightful little marketplace of amazing goods made by talented, creative women who I enjoy welcoming into my home.  

-A full Hive on opening night. Doors opened at 6:00 & it was packed with busy shoppers by 6:10- Love it!! - 

I get giddy when I start thinking about hosting a Hive. The atmosphere & energy that comes opening night & it gives me a rush of excitement!  I love meeting everyone that comes through the door & am grateful for the connections I have formed as a result of hosting such an amazing event 2 times a year.  If you haven't been before I invite you to give it a try this time.   

-Some H&H creations for SaLE @ The Hive last year- 

Take the beautiful drive up to Mt. Green 
{up Weber Canyon nestled between Ogden & Layton} 
shop, mingle, be inspired by the fabulous goods you'll see, treats you'll get to sample & decor galore. 

{Maybe go for lunch or dinner at Taggart's afterwords while 

you're up here- one of my favorites!}

This year I'm doing something a bit different

{those learning lessons I told you about}

For the 1st time ever The Hive will be a 3 day event.  I've listened to those of you who have asked for extended times & days that never seem to be able to make it in the past- so here you go!  

{I expect to see many of you up here!! Hint, Hint! ;)} 

So go ahead pick a day, any day to come up to The Hive-
