Let’s welcome a new business to the growing Brookside East neighborhood…Golden and Pine. This is a  handmade home and garden goods store, having it’s Grand Opening  Saturday March 19, 2016 from 1-5pm at 633 E 63rd St  (south side of E 63rd, across from the new apartment construction).

Stephanie Agne, Owner Golden and Pine

Owner Stephanie Agne was a dietician for several years yet home decor was her passion.  She worked for a while at a home store boutique in Maine, and when she and her husband moved back to hometown   Kansas City, it was time to  open her own place.  After looking at various KC locations, she decided on Brookside East.  She wanted a place with ‘good light’ and was excited about what was happening in the area.  She found Butch Rigby’s vision ‘inspiring’ and signed a lease in one of his recently purchased buildings.

Golden and Pine has a warm and modern feel, with products made of natural materials like wood, cork and cotton.  Stephanie knows the origin of each product she sells; most are unique to her shop and almost all are hand made. (You’ll find a story card beside each product.)  Items for sale include some furniture, pillows, candles, soap, lotions, garden items, napkins, books–the perfect place to browse and find something to freshen up your home!

If you can’t stop by the Grand Opening on Saturday–come by during her regular business hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 10am-6pm.  I’m excited about yet another unique,  locally owned business opening in Brookside!
