Locally Trending is a monthly feature that highlights the high quality home products available at locally owned stores in the FM area. Materials such as natural wood, white stone and leafy greens are this month’s inspiration. With May in full bloom, we can’t help but be inspired by nostalgic moments spring brings to mind. Thoughts of skipping rocks across a pond or taking barefoot steps across freshly-cut grass warm our hearts after a long, drawn-out winter. Now, as we watch newly budding leaves begin to open, we are finding ways to bring the feeling of spring into our homes with a few local finds.
