ALTON - Honeybee Vintage has celebrated one year in their downtown Alton location, and owner Melissa Bland is pleased to continue her work within the community. Located at 114 E. Broadway in Alton, Honeybee Vintage sells clothing, antiques, “upscale resale” items, home decor, local art, gifts and more. Bland explained that she houses 20 vendors and curates the remainder of her store to appeal to every customer. She encourages people to come out and see everything Honeybee Vintage has to offer. “There’s tons of heart in these products,” Bland said. “I curate for quality. I curate for style. I curate for price. If we get that mix right, then it works well.” The store is open year-round, seven days a week, which Bland feels provides more consistency for vendors than other markets. They have a variety of seasonal products in addition to their regular items. The store also sells several local and historic items, such as Alton-themed t-shirts.
