Howdy Boothmeisters! We are getting ready to hand H&H over to Jeff and Nikki so we need to switch the register and bookkeeping over to them. The store will be closed tomorrow 2/28 at 3 pm and will remain closed on Tuesday 3/1 to accommodate this. Your checks will be at the store, as usual, and you can pick them up 3/2 or after. Remember to cash all the checks you have from us ASAP. We’ll be closing the bank account within 60 days.

I’ll send an email to everyone tomorrow with further details about all this. Thanks for everything. Love, Ringmaster Kim

Good afternoon, Boothmeisters!  This is Kendra and Kim and we are signing off!  We’ll be handing over the reins on March 1^st, and the new owners would love to tell y’all about their vision. 

From new owners Jeff and Nikki:

We have a vision and plan that reflects our interests and expertise, and we will be shaping H&H to meet that vision.  We expect to complete the transition close to the first of the month, so we want to share our vision with y’all now.   We will be transforming the store into solely antiques, vintage, retro, collectibles and Eureka unique items.  We also want all booths to be full.  We do notice that some are not filled, and some of those vendors have multiple booths, or booths that are too large for your inventory, so we may do some restructuring to combine booths, or transition to smaller booths for those who don’t have enough product to fill their current space. 
 
We will be sending new contracts with any of our changes in your March 1^st paperwork.  Those contracts will be effective April 1^st.  We will be evaluating booths March 1^st as well to make sure all fit with our new image.   
 
We’ll be available in the store today (2/17/22) until 6 pm, and all day next Wednesday and Thursday, to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.  Or you can email me at any time at nikkigriffithins @ yahoo.com. 
 
We look forward to working with all of you! 

Good afternoon, Boothmeisters!  We are thrilled to introduce soon-to-be New Owners, Jeff and Nikki Griffith.  They are current vendors; their booth is the first behind the register, and they are avid antique and collectible enthusiasts with a great deal of experience and knowledge in this field.  They’ll be in the store with Kendra starting next Tuesday, February 15^th until closing, so feel free to stop by to chat with them about their vision going forward. They’ll take the reins on their own sometime in the first two weeks of March.  We’ll send a written notice to all of y’all terminating our contracts and explaining how to get with Jeff and Nikki to sign up with them. 

We have enjoyed working with y’all and can’t wait to see what these folks who can devote their full attention to you and Hobbies and Homestead make happen.  Thanks for 4.5 years of fun and adventure, and here’s to many more!

Love, The Ringmasters

The checks are ready. I’m taking them to the store but, given the weather warning, you might want to call to make sure the store is open before you trek in: 479-265-7006. Somebody will likely be there but … please check and stay safe!

Checks are ready! Happy New Year and I hope everyone stays safe and warm.

These homeless items are in the vendor lounge. Somebody wanted to buy them but we couldn’t sell them because they had no vendor barcode or price. If these items are yours please pick them up by the end of the year. Thank you.

The store will be closed December 24 and December 25. Merry Christmas everyone!

You’ll find cleaning supplies, tags, ladders and a computer & iPad to use for entering your items. If you need help with the inventory system, contact us to arrange a one-on-one.
