Next, The Flower Show.
Once again this year we hosted several designers at a happy hour followed by the Flower Show. It was somewhat abbreviated this year. #disappointed. There were about 3 exhibits that I really liked. OMG the Wedding exhibit (Richardson's) was amazing. They even had a wedding cake made from bark. It was totally amazing! We went on Friday night which was "Fido Friday" - all dog owners were invited to bring their dogs. It was tons of fun since a lot of the owners dressed their dogs in costumes. I was so impressed; all the dogs were very well behaved and so so cute. I finished the exhibit in no time - but if you liked the little shops at the show you were golden #shopsgalore.

March was insanely crazy and cold! It came in like a Lion and went out like a Lion. Right??? So where did the Lamb go????
"THE DREADED NOR'EASTER". I don't even want to think about it!
So, now it's April and it's usually warm. I said usually (*sigh*). Remember April Showers (used to) bring May flowers. We are in such desperate need of warm sunny days and MORE warm sunny days, and yes, a lot more warm sunny days. And Lambs. Where is that Lamb? It's like Seattle right? Toto - we aren't in Philadelphia anymore!!! Weather gods PLEASE GET THIS MONTH RIGHT! My flowers are so confused that are coming up anyway. This is, however, a positive. I was told by our exterminator that when we have long cold snaps it means we will have less bugs. HOORAY HOORAY less mosquitoes.

April is TAX month!
Oh Yeah the TAX MAN #beatlestune. Yikes! I don't think with "that side" of my brain. I have tried it just doesn't work for me. The good news is the date was changed this year to April 17th. The reason it was changed is two-fold: First, April 15th falls on a Sunday this year. And, second, Washington DC celebrates Emancipation Day on April 16th. Hooray for the procrastinators!

APRIL also means Mini Masters!!!! Wait! Did I say Mini Masters? What a party we had! Mini Masters is a party to celebrate the famous golf tournament in August GA. Last year was the first year for the Mini Masters Golf Show Design competition among design firms. Since it was a hit last year we decided to do it again this year. Every year the bar gets raised and all the entries were really amazing! This year Genesis took First Place! Congrats to the winning team - they did an awesome job. People Choice (2nd Place) was a tie with Hellyer Lewis and Stantec - congrats to all of you as well! It was a great time for everyone attending to see our recently expanded and updated showroom. The new furniture was really well received by all the designers. Everyone had a great time and......for those of you who want to be part of the Golf Shoe Design competition - it will be back next year! HOORAY!!
