It Has Been A While.....But I Am Happy to Announce!

A renovation that I thought would only take a few months has turned into a year and a half. I have heard the phrases - “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and “Do it right the first time and you won’t have to do it again”, which couldn’t be any more true. In reality, it has been the cost of everything. With everything having to be custom done, it has been a journey to “thrift” as much as possible, but not cheap out as well.

Drum-roll, please………….

I am happy to announce that I will open “The Church” for business on March 22nd with curated vendors selling antiques, vintage, farmhouse, handmade goods, artisans and small-batch food products. The store will be open on weekends, Friday and Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm and 11 am - 4 pm on Sundays. I will also be open to shopping by appointment only for the remainder of the week after 6 pm. Application forms will be available online starting January 1st.

I will also be taking “The Show on the Road” again this year. Please stay tuned for locations and dates. If your business wants to host an event, please contact me at melissa@bluehensmarkets.com. I will need at least 5 months’ notice to get all the necessary paperwork into counties and health units.

Until the opening, I am offering the space for rent to those who need space to run classes, workshops, paint nights, photoshoots or something I may have not thought of. If you are interested, please message me at melissa@bluehensmarkets.com.

For the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure of working with exhibitors, food concessions and market vendors on a large scale. Previous to this, I worked in the world of customer service. In the next few months, I will be offering classes to new vendors who want to dive into the world of markets as a full-time career change or a side - hustle. These classes will help new businesses prepare their business before the season gets started. These classes will be offered in areas of demand and there will be a sign-up form published shortly.

I know, a lot to take in, but all exciting. And as time goes on, there will be more exciting news happening. Make sure to follow along on my social media for everything that is happening. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and wish you a blessed 2024.

Coming Soon - The Before
