I can’t wait to go to the Flower and Patio Show. I already have Spring Fever and that is just going to push me right over the edge. I wonder what Sullivan Hardware is bringing this year!!!
Where do I pick up my free tickets.
I look forward to attending the show this year. So ready for spring and this always gets me thinking of how I will decorate the yard/garden areas.
I am SO ready to go to the Flower & Patio Show!!! Need a colorful break from all the grey skies and rain/snow. My husband loves it, too…even though getting new ideas means work for him:)
