People often ask me why or how I picked the name Hummingbird Home for our shop. When I envisioned having a storefront one day, I dreamt of a warm and welcoming place that people would enter and get a feeling of home. I wanted friends and strangers alike to feel like they could pull up a chair and share a story or a memory that was sparked by a vintage piece that we had in the store. Sure, I wanted a store filled with pretty things for your home, but it is the feeling of home that I was striving for. So, when it came time to name the store (which is a big commitment) I reflected on what gave me that "feeling" of home and I knew exactly what made me have that feeling as a little girl. My mother had a beautiful arbor outside of our bay window filled with the most beautiful wisteria vine that I had ever seen. Also, hanging from the arbor were hummingbird feeders that were filled daily with sweet nectar that would draw the hummingbirds in. I couldn't wait to see my mom go out and feed the hummingbirds everyday and I was amazed at how they would flutter so close to her as she did it. I can still close my eyes and see her doing that and it makes me have that "feeling" of being home.
I’ve always loved the name of your store and the logo. It’s unique and I have only good feelings when I think of hummingbirds. It’s nice to know the story behind the name. My mom and dad had a feeder right outside their dining room window. They had a birds-eye view :) Now I also feed them and love watching them buzz around my garden. I’m excited for your store to re-open! See you soon.
Love how you got your name of your store. Love your store. You are going to do awesome in your new location.
