My linen comes from Texas. Yes, I know Wildflower linens. They are fabulous. I have a relationship with Distinctive Details there who I think are just as fab. If you plan on contacting them (if you don't know them already) let me know first and I'll introduce you via email to my salesperson . She is wonderful.

Hi Angela! You're in Texas? Business is feast or famine. Right now it is feast with too many at once but I dare not complain. How is it going for you??
Angela! Welcome! Thanks for joining MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com. An event planner - you should join the Businesses Services "group." I'm sure you'll have lots in common. You should check out a business I just profiled for a story in the magazine I edit. She does special linens for events. Her name is Youngsong Martin and she owns Wild Flower Linens. www.wildflowerlinens.com. She might be a good source. Tell her you found her name on our site. She hasn't joined yet, I don't think. Anyway, please ask questions of the group by using the FORUM tab above, and invite other women to join using the INVITE tab. How did you hear about MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com?
