I am very excited to announce that I will be participating in this terrific upcoming event. I have the honor of being in the company of some very talented vendors. At the very last minute we all got word that Fox 5 News would like to interview us! I scrambled up to the market in the wee hours of the morning to put some flowers together. It was a crazy rush of adrenaline. I was completely nervous but in the end it was a lot of fun. The piece will air tomorrow, Thursday May 28 between 5:30 and 6:00pm.
