Celebrate the beauty of fall with open house at The Stemmery
BY CYNTHIA J. THOMAS, Staff Writer
Say hello to fall at the Fall Open House at The Stemmery, 2045 S. Business Hwy. 65, Unit B in Hollister. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday, October 6-8, you can enjoy sipping cider while you browse the beautiful selection of flowers, antiquities, and handcrafted décor and home accessories. There will also be some amazing plant giveaways.
If you haven’t seen the beautiful floral arrangements and the unique selection of vintage items at The Stemmery yet, the open house is the perfect time to get acquainted! Owner Laney Vivo opened the shop at the end of November 2022, after relocating to the area from Hawaii due to her husband’s job designing golf courses. She has quickly learned to love the friendliness of people around the Ozarks, and especially appreciates the warm, helpful welcome she has received as a new business owner in Hollister.
During the open house, artist Mary Evelyn Tucker will present a Floral Pumpkin Workshop, where participants can learn to create a beautiful floral design on their fall pumpkins and gourds. Registration and a materials fee are required for the pumpkin workshop. There are several days and times to choose from, but space is limited; visit Flowers by the Stemmery on Facebook or call 417-3327840 to sign up.
Vivo also loves partnering with other local businesses and artists. In addition to Mary Evelyn’s art, Kameran Thull, owner of What the Find Vintage Goods, has helped with sourcing vintage items in the shop; and Julie Zetina’s pottery is also featured.
Joining in the October open house will be Freebird & Co. Boutique, which is opening a Hollister location next door to The Stemmery in addition to their current Branson location, so guests will be able to browse both shops. Stop by, get acquainted, and enjoy the beauty of fall!
