First Thursday: Round 1

This is the first post about what is hoped to become a regular thing here at Margot Blair Floral.  But to get to that story I first have to tell you that we got a shop.  So...

WE GOT A SHOP!!
That's right, a real life, bonafide shop.  And what's more, it's on South Congress!  (For those of you that are not familiar with Austin, TX, South Congress is the immortal street that runs straight through town and is riddled with the best shops, art, food, and weirdness that Austin has to offer.  And we're right in the thick of it.)

Now back to the original point... South Congress has what is called "First Thursday," where on the first Thursday (imagine that) of every month all of the stores stay open past their bed times, street vendors set up to sell their goods, and the city comes out to play and support the arts.  It's fabulous, and oh so very Austin.

So on this last First Thursday, actually on the first Wednesday, I had a breakfast meeting with two of the most lovely and wonderful women I know: Carli Kiene of InkedFingers Fotography, and Jessica Maurer of Three Little Birds Catering.  It was at that meeting that we decided we were going to join forces and take over First Thursday.  And so we did.  We had only 24 hours to plan, yet the result was magnificent.  With the help of Tonya Thomas of The Good Flour, we had ourselves a party that pretty much amounted to awesome people hanging out together drinking champagne, eating glorious food, and taking goofy pictures at the photo booth, all while sharing our passions for our respective professions and giving the world just a glimpse of what we have to offer.  Here's a picture by the wonderful Carli as proof...

**Come out and see us next First Thursday, because there is much more where that came from!**
