Shaffer’s Tea Room
Picked by Nancy Kumpulainen, Assistant Art Director
Not only does Shaffer’s Tea Room have a huge selection of tasty blends of different organic teas and local baked goods, they also make some of the best tasting, home-brewed Kombucha I’ve ever tasted! Everything is brewed using a unique water filtration system that happens to also be used at the White House. They also offer an array of unique gifts that are handmade, from different parts of the world which give back to their respective communities when purchased. How cool is that!? Good vibes all around.

The Original Popcorn House in Delray Beach
Picked by Karen Jacaruso, Account Manager
“What’s your flavor? How about cheeseburger or ketchup? It’s all gourmet and freshly popped. The owner Geri says whatever flavor you think of, she’ll POP it!! One of her four kids may take your picture upon arrival and clothes pin it up on their wall. The best popcorn I’ve had!”

Boca Raton Fine Art Show
Picked by John Thomason, Assistant Editor
“Your average Joe Schmo with a palette and a canvas isn’t going to be represented at this annual downtown Boca art fair—unless Joe Schmo happens to meet the rigorous qualifications of the festival’s panel of jurors, which bring a combined total of 120 years experience to bear while judging originality, technique, execution and overall professionalism. The high quality of the Boca Raton Fine Art Show’s juried process makes it as much an outdoor museum exhibition as an art sale, offering a state-of-the-arts survey that is designed to accommodate the pocketbooks of all attendees. Visit the fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.”
