First, Welcome back to The Frazzled Flamingo! They rejoin us with some adorable kids and baby items, and machine embroidery.

Second, Our very own beekeepers, Cedar Ridge Farms.

They have a variety of local honey and honey products. Studies have shown that consuming local honey can help with seasonal allergies.
