Summer Buzz S
omething is different about this summer in Kansas City. As spring was turning and slowly warming its way into our lives, I could feel it. An energy. A buzz. Maybe it’s being in the midst of baseball season with
Stacey Billings Marni Carlson Samantha Collins Michael Fry James Fry Lauren Hedenkamp Kirsten Hudson Audrey Kuether Abbie Marshall Deborah Vogler
the 2015 World Series champs walking among us. Maybe it’s the excitement for all the new markets and events coming to KC, like Vintage Market Days and The Vintage Whites Market. Maybe it was the release of our first season of our old home renovation series “Home Remedy.” (Check out all the videos on our YouTube Channel goo.gl/MKP2oo.) It’s the weirdest thing to see something that existed in your head become reality and to watch how the world around you responds. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for watching and supporting this fun little
thing we did! We’re on the lookout for our season two house, so stay tuned! But back to the buzz ... do you guys feel it, too? Living in Kansas City over the past few years is like having a little secret, something you think is really, really great, and then you decide to share it with people and watch as they also start to see how great your secret is. We’re attracting attention. What I hope people see about Kansas City—about us—is that we’re down to earth. That we’re hard working. That we’re makers, dreamers, believers. That we don’t fear failure and we’re not afraid to try. That we’re always pushing harder to better ourselves and situations, yet perfectly content to wake up in this beautiful part of the world. I inherited a mature garden with my new (old) house and I can tell you, with the flowers this land produces, we could put up a fight for the most unexpectedly beautiful part of this country—not that we’d want to fight, we’re a peaceful people you know. I hope that as people take more notice of what we’re doing in this city that you step up to the challenge and show everyone why it’s ultimately the residents that make a city great. Be kind, and be useful. Whatever this buzz is—it could be my head spinning from our entire office being stacked un- der plastic in the basement of The Bauer in the Crossroads awaiting our new office space there— it’s fun and I hope it sticks around for a while. P.S. Come see us in our new space at The Bauer for open houses on First Fridays where we’ll have food and stuff, and maybe buy some vintage clothes, accessories, and other fun items from us—more info to come!
