• Shopping for everything from clothing & accessories to home decor & kitchen gadgets to the latest cosmetics and wellness products.

There truly is SOMETHING FOR EVERY WOMAN at this event of spirit & style not to be missed!

*Note: Mother Tree does not endorse the promotion of formula and we are bit bummed that this event features it so readily. But we do love Peanut Butter N Ellies and the Metro Parent and the concept of supporting women-owned businesses, so we consider this an okay trade-off for sharing this event. Not to mention the fireman's fashion show. Just enter with judicious amount of conscious thinking and have fun.
