Our Next Floral Class!

As promised...more info!

Join Grace Gardens at Bente Vintage for a hands-on floral workshop designed for beginners and flower lovers alike. In this class, you'll learn the fundamental principles of floral arranging while creating a beautiful seasonal arrangement to take home.

Together, we'll cover the essential building blocks of floral design, including how to properly prepare and process fresh-cut flowers, condition water to maximize vase life, and confidently arrange blooms in a vase using professional techniques. You'll also learn how to care for your arrangement at home so you can enjoy your flowers for as long as possible.

Whether you're hoping to elevate grocery store bouquets, gain confidence arranging flowers from your own garden, or simply enjoy a creative and relaxing experience, this class will give you the knowledge and skills to create beautiful arrangements again and again.

All flowers, supplies, and instruction are included. Leave with a gorgeous arrangement, practical floral design skills, and a newfound appreciation for the art of working with flowers.

Ticket cost $75 (no tax)
Please join us, it's going to be lovely!

Vintage forever,

Okay....Without further ado, we have a full June planned, hang on!

Lucky for me July is slow!
I plan to send a full newsletter in the next month, we will see!

Meet your summer bag!

A big thank you to the lovely ladies that joined us at our Mother's Day event, that was such a great afternoon, the energy was just so good! I am so grateful that Hilary is coming back to share her knowledge with us. I learn so much from her at every class!

Shop globally, here in Barrington!

Join us for a fun new themed event! Each shop will be representing a country, I chose Morocco so be ready for all the furry rugs, mint tea and brass!

This event is to highlight shops off the beaten path, shop at 8 shops (and have your passport stamped) to enter a $300 gift basket! You'll notice several new shops including Bell House Books, The Pepper Pot and others!

Stop at bente first, grab your passport and stamp, shop a bit then move it along!

Here’s where we started!

This Shiraz rug is so charming. Covered with people on horseback, dogs and scenes from nomadic life. I love the colors too, the Persian blue, golden ground, soft pinks. And the softest shiniest wool. It’s everything I love in a rug. Available in the shop! Ask for Stacy- she’s 4’1 x 6’5”
