TRADE SECRETS…Yes there were wonderful plants to look at and buy. Yes there were all kinds of garden and home related ornaments to attract the viewer. But Trade Secrets is a Fashion Show of sorts. You see people dressed in Equestrian inspired garb, people who look like they should be living at a Great Country Manor, if they do, or not. Some people look like they were part of add campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, or LL Bean. You even see that person, or couple who are Hipster Cool. At Trade Secrets you don’t know who you will see next. It could be Martha, Carolyn, Bunny, maybe Oscar, or even Henry. Trade Secrets is a KALEIDOSCOPE of Style.
People need to know your background before they feel comfortable enough to buy your new songs. Next you should search for English Songs similar to yours and befriend them.

There’s no one who shops as single-mindedly at Trade Secrets as Martha Stewart who paused briefly to answer her phone and chat with her one-time garden editor, Margaret Roach (left), the blogger (awaytogarden.com) and author of the memoir, And I Shall Have Some Peace There, which begins with Roach resigning from her high-level management job at Martha Stewart Omnimedia to tend to her own garden in Copake Falls, NY. Now in its eleventh year, Trade Secrets feels like a class reunion with the same vendors and shoppers returning every year, happy to see each other at the plant and antiques sale for Women’s Support Services, an agency that assists victims of domestic abuse in northwestern Connecticut and nearby Massachusetts and New York.
