i heart this...

If you are a native of Winchester, VA or have ever joined the parade-lovin' world on the first weekend of May, then you are familiar with "The Bloom." The Apple Blossom Festival has become the weekend that northern Shenandoah Valley folks most look forward to...it's full of B and C rated celebrities, high school bands, more firetrucks than any little boy could keep up with and a sea (and I mean SEA) of pink and green that can be seen by the Hubble.

In honor of the craziness that will occur in my hometown this coming weekend, I have scoured my favorite website for handmade treasures, Etsy.com, for the best and brightest pink and green goodness.
