Honeysuckle Trail By Marcella Peyre-Ferry Contributing Writer Honeysuckle Trail has all you need to spice up your home décor, decorate for any holiday, or accessorize your wardrobe. Displays change frequently so you will want to keep coming back to find new treasures. You might find something welcoming for the front door, a touch of charm for living areas, practical yet clever kitchen accessories, or outdoor décor to liven up your garden or patio. Located at 284 Barnsley Road, Oxford, just outside the borough, Honeysuckle
Trail has been at its present location since 2007. Honeysuckle Trail is truly a family business. Brenda Adams worked at Herr Foods for many years but has always had an interest in crafting. She began to follow her dream by selling her creations on a shelf at her husband’s auto repair shop in Oxford. The business grew to take over the room that had been the shop’s office. With both businesses growing, they both moved farther down on Barnsley Road where their buildings are side by side and daughter Amber Jones works in the shop with her mom as well as with
her dad in the auto repair shop. “I’ve been helping my mom since I was little. We work side by side now,” Jones said. “I always followed in their footsteps. I enjoy being part of the family business.” Honeysuckle Trail is not locked in to one particular style. When the shop first opened, it was predominately focused on primitive décor. Not only does the selection change with the seasons, it also changes to keep up with the latest decorating trends and to respond to clients requests. Jones personally prefers the farmhouse look with its clean lines and color pallet
