Ember & Lace Hall

When we first inquired on this building back in July, I had a vision that I could see that most people couldn’t. Looking past the rough exterior to see where it could go, honestly made me a little teary. Time went on and things moved slow. There might have been a moment or two of, oh crap, what have we done? We are NO WHERE near as far along as I thought we’d be by this point but all in good time, I guess.

Sharing pictures of where we started compared to where we’re at right now - and yep, a little more teary. So beyond excited to see what Adam Walden has accomplished just with some paint and repair work. If you need some painting done, be sure to contact him. Professional, quick, and darn great at what he does. Couldn’t be happier with how everything looks.

We’ve still got a ways to go. And probably will come along with more on crap, what have we done moments. Stay tuned though, and see where we end up!

The city of Carlinville will start excavation and replacement of waterlines on W. Main St. This will start Monday, April 27. They will start at the square and do one block at a time. As they move west towards the railroad tracks. Temporary road repairs will be completed. Signage and barricades will be in place. Until repairs are made please use alternate routes. Please share with your friends and family.

A project like this doesn’t happen alone.

We’re so thankful for Big Dog Construction Company Your Local Window Depot USA and the work they’ve done to kick off the visible part of our multi-building renovation work. Bringing new life to these buildings has been needed for a long time, and seeing it come to life is something special.

This is just step one—but it’s a meaningful one. Grateful for the people helping us build something lasting in our community. 🖤

Remember my last post (like just a little earlier today) about our love for our small town businesses? This is one of our favorites! If you're local, stop in and see the difference! If you're an out-of-towner, trust me - the customer service is worth the drive! Crowe Boot & Shoe 🥰

Go shopping with friends this Thursday evening!

When you go “shopping” with friends and find a magical vintage piece that will look perfect in the event space. And you ask Collected to hold it for you…and Marcy says it’s half price today with the January sale… you pay for it and pick it up later when you have some muscle with you. 😍😍

This gorgeous mirror called to me as soon as I walked in. We aren’t ANYWHERE near being ready for decor but I couldn’t pass this beauty up.

Coming soon(ish)!
