Ed. I love Community Forklift, which is a hidden gem for antiquing. I got some really great vegetable crate labels from the 30s for almost nothing that are beautiful and I'm going to put up in my kitchen once they're framed. We also bought a kick-ass mantel there that we put up in our living room as a faux fireplace for under $200, mirror included.

City Blossoms
We are so excited to announce that this year City Blossoms will be working with a group of children and youth at the Marion Street Intergenerational Garden to create our first ever Herb CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Project. This is an exciting chance for local kids to learn basic business skills and improve their garden and herb know-how while sharing very-locally grown fresh herbs with neighbors. Shares are distributed every other week & include 3-5 bunches of herbs, recipe ideas, usage tips, facts about the herbs and updates on the garden. All proceeds will go towards supporting the garden and youth gardeners.
CSA DATES: late April through October 2011
COST: $60/ Share for the whole season (that's less than $10/months for almost 7 months & can be paid in two $30 installments)
WHERE: Marion Street Intergenerational Garden, 1517 Marion Street, NW (near P Street) Washington, D.C. 20001
After February 26, 2011 the application to the CSA will be available online. To learn more about City Blossoms or to become a CSA member contact info@cityblossoms.org or call 202.870.8158.
