Hollowberry Manor Creative Retreat

Dad and I are hard at work! Here is what we checked off yesterday. Still lots of other projects in the works - looking towards to all those ✅✅✅!!

My dad and I are here for 10 DAYS to work on improvements to the manor! I’m so grateful that he is willing to come and share his amazing knowledge and skill with me!

The weather is thwarting some of our initial plans, but we are pushing forward with other tasks as we wait for warmer weather. Here is what we accomplished yesterday - along with about a dozen other tasks that we’ve started. Can’t wait to share with you all the great things happening this week!

Keychains have been restocked! New colors available, and even some new shapes. I'm loving how much y'all are loving these!

And PLEASE don't hate me...there are now triple the charms to choose from! There are even charms for every bedroom so you can collect them all! {Can you figure out which room goes to which charm in my hand?} Remember, buy the Keychain for $10 and receive 1 Free Charm for every retreat you come to. Additional charms are only $1 each, so have fun with it!

If you've already gotten your keychain, post a picture below - we want to see your collection!

Much of the year has been booked, but there are still some great weeks open. Take a look at the list below and see if any of these will work for your crafting group!

When you're ready to book your group's stay, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll get your booking link ready. Remember, I offer First Right of Refusal for all my groups, so grab your week before they are all gone!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the housekeeper for Hollowberry Manor.

While most of my job is behind the scenes, you’ll see my hard work when you come stay at the Manor for a creative retreat. Although I’m not a native of Cheyenne, my family settled here after my husband’s retirement from the Air Force after twenty-one years of service. We love Cheyenne, and I adore all the history the city has to offer. As an indie romance author of over thirty-seven books, including several late-Victorian historical romances, there’s something about this house that just energizes my creative spirit. My daughter joins me every week to ensure the house is clean and tidy for the next guests. Both she and I are crafty in our own ways, and Hollowberry Manor encompasses everything we love about creative spaces!

If you’d like to learn more about me and my own creative pursuits, my website is https://kirstensblacketer.com
