Randy Hallman | Richmond Times-Dispatch  | Full Story

 

Sherry and John Petersik - the Chesterfield County husband and wife team who have become darlings of the do-it-yourself crowd with their Young House Love blog and bestselling book - have scored a national retail coup.

 

Target Corp., with more than 1,900 stores in the U.S. and Canada, will carry a line of decorative wall hooks and hangers designed by the Petersiks and developed in collaboration with Liberty Hardware Manufacturing Co. in Winston-Salem, N.C.


 The collection will be available in most of the retailer's stores for 14 weeks starting March 30.      

 

The Petersiks' products are already available online from Target. Some items are available online only. All of them are priced under $15. 

Farmer's market idea takes root

Caitlin Davis | Hopewell News Patriot | Full Story

HOPEWELL - Though the project is still more than a year from being completed, the Hopewell Downtown Partnership has begun work on opening a farmer's market in Downtown Hopewell, and it's a project that has been a vision of the partnership's, and many in the city for years. 

Rita Joyner, board president for the Hopewell Downtown Partnership, is spearheading the project, which she said is in the "infancy and exploration" stages. 

The project does not have a projected cost or even a projected date of completion, however the concept of a farmer's market has already gained momentum and has the support of many in the city.
