We are so excited to begin offering our workshops, classes and clubs at White Arrows Home.
(Affiliate links are used for your convenience. Read my full disclosure here.)
Did you know I have a brick and mortar shop right in the heart of the Northwoods of Wisconsin in Minocqua?
We opened three years ago and have found a special home in the new location we moved into in November.
It has given us the space to chase many of our dreams.
The yard has begun to show some of our beginning ideas for expanded retail, market and pop up space to enjoy during the Summer.
Our vintage campers “Tidbit” and “Tackle Box” will be getting tricked out, styled and set for more fun and experiences.
Keep following along here on the blog and also on Instagram to see the progress of how the yard keeps getting better and better.
Markets
We’ve already hosted some fun markets and pop ups this Summer and have more to come before the snow falls.
- Jackie of Sweet Pies of Mine will be here once a month to sell her homemade pies.
- Don will be here to sell his Northwoods tapped Hatchett syrup.
- Author talks
- Artists
- Makers
Here’s a peek at what we’ve been up to so far this Summer.
Author Talks
This coming Saturday Jackie and Don will be here, as well as one of our favorite author and artists, Kyle White.
Kyle is our second author visit. Jeff Nania joined us recently as well.
The “Tackle Box” was the perfect backdrop by the campfire for an author talk.
The Paddle Club
Another big part of the dream is our back building we call The Paddle Club.
The outside got a paint job sign and a paddle handle on the screen door.
We have been working on decorating the inside and can’t wait to show you in a few short weeks!
The window box was filled with summer blooms.
And the bird house even got it’s own arrow “White Sparrows Home”. Get it? LOL!
We are excited to kick off our clubs, workshops and classes in September.
Most options have a limited capacity so sign ups are on a first come/first sign up basis. Sign ups can be done online or in person in The Shop.
If a class is full, message or call to be put on the waiting list.
We will expand offerings as demand occurs.
