My annual romp through the show with Mosaic2007 will take a different twist this year.  Mosaic (Chris) became a first time grandma two weeks ago to a lovely pink bundle named Katherine!!!  Chris stayed with her daughter for two weeks and just returned home to Oregon.  It is too soon for her to turn around and come back to Seattle soooooooo we will hit it together in 2012.  I will miss her but am so happy for her! 

The twist will be attending the show alone tomorrow morning from 9-12; then popping over to the Seattle Home Show to work in my husband's booth while he flies back to the office for two client meetings.  Once he returns around 5pm another sweet friend of mine will pick me up at the home show and we will go back to the flower show to walk through the displays.  I will spend my time alone in the morning scouring the "Marketplace." Chris & I have found many unusual plant treasures at small vendor booths over the years.  I promised Chris I would buy two of anything super rare or unusual so she will not miss out!  Another friend & his wife own an amazing nursery in Mt. Vernon.  They usually have a booth full of great items and every few years they participate on the display floor.  This is their display year which I am excited to see as well.  Actually, I am just plain excited to see it all!!!!

I will let you know what is "new" to the scene....

Oh, I hope I can sleep tonight ;)
