Happy St. Patty's Day!
How lucky am I to this little blog & business of mine that has brought so many friendships & connections into my life. I never thought when I started this 4 years ago that it would bring so much more into my life, so thank you for reading, following & your interest.
{Wishing you all lots of LuCK in whatever you are doing today!}
Now onto recapping another busy, amazing Hive that took place last week. First of all to everyone who came from far or near I want to say....
I always get nervous that no one will come & then I open up the doors on opening night & am blown away! So fun inviting you all into my home to see such amazing hand crafted, unique things.

Now onto recapping another busy, amazing Hive that took place last week. First of all to everyone who came from far or near I want to say....
 |
| -I always have to take a before shot of my island. It's a tradition! This time around is was bursting at the seams with everything Spring!- |
 |
| -My cute daughter right before we opened the doors. She has become a great assistant & worker bee- |
 |
| -As always the delightful candy station all set up & ready to go. This time bags of carmels & short breads & glass jars ready to snag & give away as gifts or put away until Easter. If you can resist them that long, they are just too good!- People ask me all the time, how do I do it well.... did you know there was a manual? Haha! I found this book years ago at an antique store & just had to have it. I set it out at this Hive & it was fun to see everyone's reaction when they saw it. It normally sits on my nightstand in our bedroom. Love the color, title, everything about it- so inspiring! {I WILL own my own bees one day & make my own honey, just wait!} |
 |
| -That's me, the honeybee so excited to be hosting another Hive in the house- |
 |
| -Everyone getting excited to get in the doors! So incredibly grateful for all you faithful Hive shoppers. Makes my heart burst at the seams everytime!- |
 |
| -The Hive was "BuZZing" even at 6:09-Happy Shoppers! |
One of my favorite things that I created this year. You can never have to much LuCK around the house, I say.
 |
| -A Hollyhocks & Honeybees creation- |
Use #40 for my famous vintage chicken feeder, holding the most adorable Springtime colored candles. So charming to look at! Those bottles are the sweetest!
Another H&H display set up. So bright & cheerful. You know I love frames, blocks & pretty things to go along with them.
I made lots of little word tiles. Hope you got one to take home with you! If you'd like to order a special custom one just send me an email, thanks! honeybee58@gmail.com
Candles displayed in a cool vintage metal basket. Lavender & Thyme what's more warmer days ahead than that combination. Smells heavenly!
Another pic of the Sweet set-up. From the tip top of the magnolia blooms to the orange pom poms on the table cloth this centerpiece of The Hive was so inviting & adorable to look at. Made me smile! The table cloth came from my Grandma Hall's house, I love it!
Of coarse it can't be a Hive without a bunch of garlands dripping from the lights over the island. Such a simple easy way to decorate & let everyone know there is something special going on!
 |
| -You can never have too many garlands hanging up! The more the better! - |
 |
| -Thought this little display was so charming with all the color combos going on. Simply delightful!- |
The beautiful flowers for The Hive were brought to you by the lovely ladies at To Market. They were beautiful! If you haven't been into their shop {In Kaysville} give yourself a treat & go in this week. Tell them the Honeybee sent you.

Just another pic of the set up. Wooden chicks, bunnies, dainty ceramic nests, frames, colorful blocks & of coarse unique little Easter treats served up in vintage metal egg cake molds. All set out on this fabulous table cloth which is a another vintage score from my Grandma's house.
It's always a bit sad to see another Hive come & go. But it's always sweet to look back on it too & see the new friendships & connections formed & all the wonderful memories attached to it. Thanks to the fabulous vendors who participated this time around. Didn't get a picture with all of them but grateful for each one of them sharing the time & talents with everyone who came. Thanks, friends!

Everyone asks me what my house looks like after a Hive so I thought I'd share some pics after everything is cleaned up, packed away & put back into place.
Not much different except a little less full. All my furniture basically stays in the same place. Yes, I leave garlands up & displays above my island. I don't take down everything just because The Hive is over. There is always something on my island, maybe not fresh flowers all the time but there is always a centerpiece to look at & admire. My "Creeper" usually stays out all the time.
I walked back into my kitchen after taking some stuff out to the garage & just had to take a picture. In this picture are so many of my favorite things- my vintage Honey Bee beverage box above the cupboard, garlands, fresh flowers, cupcakes made by Macey, greenery in this case homegrown wheat grass in the window sill, sunshine streaming through & a window cracked just a bit to let the fresh air in. Ahhhhh, a beautiful sight!
THaNKS again to all those who came to The Hive, my heart is full & grateful. If you didn't make it this time around I hope to see you next time. If you'd like to be on The Hive mailing list just send me your email & I'll add you to it. honeybee58@gmail.com
Have a wonderful day!
