Macy's Flower Show 2015
Who is ready for Spring? According to my handy weather app, temps are on their way up starting tomorrow. Perfect timing, as my level of pastiness has reached a low even Casper would envy. Kidding not kidding.
Every year, I want to attend Macy's Flower Show and every year something comes up to prevent me from going. This year is no exception. I plan to be on a road trip while stuff blooms here at home. I do hope to be back in time to have brunch with the Easter Bunny. Because....hello, it's a massive Bunny who delivers creme-filled chocolate eggs.
The theme for 2015 sounds especially magical - Art in Bloom. Macy's is promising quite the gallery exhibition at their beautiful Downtown Minneapolis location. They've supplied an extensive calendar of events. You're sure to find something to inspire your Spring projects.
