I decided to honor the city I was visiting, and the hosts of the conference I was attending, by shopping at a D.C. business. A D.C. adventure! I grabbed a cab to the charming Zawadi Gallery. There were so many wonderful things there. I selected a basket, and as Aleshia rang up the purchase I told her about One Large. She said the shop had been "having a lot of very good fortune lately" and that this added to it. She was looking forward to telling the shop's owner about the project. 

Here is Aleshia holding up my purchase. It's a birthday present for my husband.
