THANKS FOR A GREAT WEEKEND!

A big thank you to all who came out and braved the rainy elements for our Christmas holiday-decorating-kick-off this past weekend! It has been nothing but torrential downpours here in Halifax the last four days with no break in sight, BUT soggy spirits were left at the door the minute people stepped into the Henhouse. A sparkly winter wonderland with vintage inspired decorations and bold glittering accents, many Haligonians are now happily at home dreaming and anticipating the day they get to start putting all their new Henhouse purchases out on display in their own nests.

But please don't despair if you weren't able to make it, there are still many many gorgeous and unique decorations just waiting to be snapped up. We are all happy to help inspire you in your holiday decorating, so please don't hesitate to ask for tips in making your home sparkle too!

BATH AND BEAUTY

This new custom designed hutch by Henhouse is so adorable. It's our new favorite design because it is so versatile. It would be perfect for a bathroom housing bath linens, toiletries, etc. Great for a small condo for dishes and glass ware, or for an office housing books and mementos. We decided to paint the exterior in a crisp soft white and the interior is painted a delicious shade a blue called "Raindance" from Benjamin Moore. On our floor now.
Just arrived! Tokyo Milk is back in stock! A beautiful bath and paper line out of Denver Colorado who are dedicated to a sweet smelling and stylish product line. We love their vintage imagery on their packaging, each soap and lip balm box is hand glittered for that extra special touch, special kissing messages inside each lip balm. We now carry their sweet card line too!

NESTING

They say that Spring is the time of year for de-cluttering, organizing, and putting your house in ship- shape order but we at Henhouse feel that THIS is the time of year when the nesting instinct really kicks in. The weather is getting a little cooler, Thanksgiving and Christmas are looming and we all want to get organized after a summer of indoor neglect. We start to turn inwards to our homes and our desire to make our nest beautiful, cozy and organized is at the forefront of our minds. With this in mind, we have brought in stacks of baskets that are beautiful, functional and well made. Great for storing linens, magazines, paper work, toys, kindling, bathroom necessities, etc. these baskets are priced from $26.95-$89.95.

AUTUMN PROMOTION

One of the reasons we carry 100% pure beeswax candles is for their lovely smell. Countless times over the years we have had customers come in and comment on the wonderful smell in our store. Although it is most likely a combination of things; like our hemp based soaps, the pure essential oils in the Rocky Mountain bath line, or the beeswax polish we use on our furniture, we are certain that a large part of the lovely smell is our Pheylonian 100% pure beeswax candles. The rich soothing smell is only the beginning of this product's attributes. When burning, it actually cleans the air rather than pollutes it like a paraffin candle does. A paraffin candle is made using chemical processes (some carcinogenic), dyed and scented with synthetics which create a toxic black soot when burned and then can go directly into your lungs or cling to your furnishings and walls. When burning a 100% pure beeswax candle it will not only burn more slowly, therefore more economically, but it will emit negative ions which will clean and purify the air of dust, dust mites, molds, mildew, pollen, allergens, viruses, bacteria, etc., giving you and your family a much cleaner and healthier air to breathe.

The long and the short of it is that to burn Pheylonian 100% pure beeswax candles is beneficial to your health, more economical, they smell wonderful, they are good for the environment and they are Canadian made with Canadian bees.

That being said we are offering an AUTUMN PROMOTION OF 20% OFF ON ALL BEES WAX CANDLES. We guarantee that your home will have that Henhouse smell too.
