Hey Lakeland, Jessica here. It’s officially spring and even though the equinox isn’t actually until the 20th, our Florida temperatures would say otherwise. This month is loaded with #MustDos (aka events you don’t want to miss) and we wanted to feature a few we’re pretty excited about.

I personally can’t wait for the 2019 Spring Haus Mrkt. The quarterly event features over 40 artisans, crafters, + makers, and welcomes over 500 guests at Haus 820. I’m in a “shopping” state of mind.
