Hommework Turned One!!




















Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed our little party last Saturday - despite the weather and Thanksgiving activities. We had a great time, and it was great to see everyone who came. We had a few minor errors, but at the end of the night, we were happy and the event was a success. We hope those of you lucky first 40 that received Hommework bags are loving your new scarves and bags and putting them to good use. For those of our loyal customers that didn't receive one, no worry we are making more & will let you know when they are available.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has supported our store this past year. We could not have done it with out you all, and we wouldn't be celebrating one year of success if it wasn't for each and every one of you. We heart you!!!



Don't forget to check out Downtown Niche as well as Suncity Afterhours for more photos.

The Official Invite!




Ok, now you are officially invited to our anniversary! Get that Hommework & Recess gear ready to wear at this event because it's going to be a riot!




One a more serious note, we cannot thank you enough for your support this past year. We are so fortunate to have such great people shopping with us. Without you, we would not be celebrating this awesome milestone in our business. We went into this not knowing what to expect and how people would react to our concept and our expectations were beyond exceeded. We always knew our wonderful city was ready to embrace a more fashion forward concept. Despite the naysayers, we moved forward with the idea and you supported us and for that, we thank you. NOW, LET'S PARTY!




If you want bottle service, call 915-433-1304 and mention you are attending the Hommework party to get special pricing.




You will need a physical invitation to get in so please come by the shop and scoop one up. Please make sure you RSVP as there will be limited capacity at this event. Don't forget it is a holiday weekend and the bars/clubs get jammed very early.




See you there!

Message to Share

We are fast approaching our 1 year anniversary here at Hommework, and I will be the first to say this has not been an easy ride. We've had to dig deep into our hearts for that tiny ounce of inspiration and hope to continue on. Sometimes reading something as simple as what is down below has helped light our flame again. No matter what your challenges in life may be, remember that things always get better and hard work always pays off.

EDISON FAILED 10,000 TIMES BEFORE PERFECTING THE INCANDESCENT ELECTRIC LIGHTBULB. DON’T WORRY IF YOU FAIL ONCE.

Arguably America’s greatest inventor, Thomas Edison had an extraordinarily positive perception of life that greatly enhanced his ability as an inventory. When others might have been hopelessly discouraged after failing thousands of times in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of a solution that wouldn’t work, thereby moving him that much closer to a successful solution. We could all take a lesson from Edison. Stories abound about inventors who quit trying and gave up too soon or miners who struck gold just a few feet beyond where someone else quit digging. There are few obstacles in life that will not succumb to consistent, sustained, intelligent, positive action. When you are discouraged after you’ve failed at something, remember Edison’s 10,000 failures before he arrived at the solution that forever changed the world.

Hope it helps to drive your motivation - Crystal B.
