Happy Spring Weekend! (and some fun things to do...)

Happy Friday everyone!  Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?  The weather is finally warming up around here (finally!) and spring flowers are starting to bloom.  For my fellow East Coasters: isn't this the most amazing time of year?  Spring is the best.

If you're in the Philadelphia area this weekend, there are a ton of exciting things to do.  My TOP picks are...

...

The Philadelphia Antiques Show.  Dave and I attended the "New Collectors" party a couple of years ago (fancy people, sipping wine, and perusing the MOST AMAZING COLLECTION OF ANTIQUES EVER...  you'll think you died and went to antique heaven).  Tickets for that party are $125.00 and available here.  But, there are many other events to attend!  Festivities start on Friday night and end on Monday.  General admission is as low as $17.00 (an online special price) and this year, the event is at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Amy Azzarito workshop at Terrain in Glen Mills.   Amy is the managing editor at Design*Sponge and this weekend, she'll be hosting a book signing and DIY workshop! Her new book Past & Present includes a variety of DIY projects and all of them are inspired by historic decorative arts (love that concept). The workshop sounds really fun (buy tickets here), and make sure to schedule plenty of time to meander around the grounds of Terrain.  It's such a beautiful and peaceful place.  Every time I go there, I always come home with new gardening inspiration.  So, take a friend and go.
