Our Last Bite at Pure Joy Ice Cream

by

Pure Joy owners Meghan and Matt Feyerabend seem to thrive on community and authenticity. Since opening the Siloam Springs scoop shop (as they often refer to it) in June of 2017, they’ve adhered to their commitment to bring customers real, homemade ice cream without artificial ingredients and to bring their community a bit of hope in the form of championing children. The spirit and the shops tasty treats are catching on: Later this summer they’ll open a new location in Bentonville’s 8th Street Market and add a mobile cart to their catering options.

Home That Works

A Little Rock couple thinks upward to gain space (and style!) for their family


When Sarah and Russell Brantley bought their Heights cottage in 2008, they planned to be there seven to 10 years. However, as they began to get to know the neighborhood families and have children of their own, they became attached. “I was selling real estate for the Janet Jones Company at the time, so I was constantly in and out of houses all over the neighborhood: new, old, remodels, homes with additions, and I just kept falling more in love with our current house,” Sarah says. Rather than moving to a new neighborhood, they decided to remedy their need for more space (they were expecting their second child at the time) with the addition of a second story as well as updates to the ground floor. Along with architect Carolyn Lindsey, designers and longtime family friends Christy Snowden Davis and Elaine Green contributed to the early stages of planning the renovation.

Knowing that they loved the neighborhood but not the house, the family brought in a talented team to help create their dream home from the ground up.

A European-inspired poolside retreat offers a quiet place to escape


When Melissa Hixson and her now-husband, Walter, moved to Little Rock three years ago, it didn’t take them long to find a house that felt just right. Having lived all over the country (most recently in Dallas), Melissa was happy and surprised to find a home in Arkansas that reminded her so much of some of her favorite travels abroad. “Our real estate agent showed us one house we thought we were interested in, but we didn’t think it was the one,” Melissa recalls. “Then he said, ‘There’s another I can show you, probably my favorite house in the Heights.’ Twenty minutes later, we bought the house.”
