Flower Bouquets & Sparkling Wine
|
The sun's out, the weather's warm, and the flowers are in full bloom! We're thrilled that Field Edge Flowers will be at Saturday's market with their drop-dead-gorgeous bouquets. Our advice? Snap these beauties up before they're gone!
Finally! We met Westport Rivers this winter, sampled their Farmer's Fizz Sparkling wine, and fell in love. It's crisp, snappy, and light--perfect for sipping on the patio or for a picnic, in both white and rosรฉ. Westport Rivers has a full line of fine wines, which they'll be sampling for those 21+.
