Welcome to a new series by OnMilwaukee friend, Municipal Court Judge and Man About Town, Derek Mosley.
Although I'm not Oprah, I too have some "Favorite Things." Each day I will feature one locally made item on social media hat gives me a little joy. In these times, who couldn't use some joy? #MyFavoriteThingsMKE

3. Air Plants
These air plants from Urban Sense are my favorite kind of plants, because even I can't kill them. These unique looking plants survive without soil OR water. Air plants use their specialized leaves to obtain from the air the water and nutrients they need to survive. Most air plants grow with long, triangle shaped leaves and boast attractive funnel or tube-shaped flowers. Just drop in a small vase, mist daily or submerge the plant in water once a week. That's it! Perfect for homes, apartments, condos, offices, cubicles and Secret Santa gifts. Plant $10; pot $12 #myfavoritethingsmke

This healthy box of goodness comes from the Brown Deer-based Flora Fruit Company. They offer three box options ( The Immune Booster Healthy Human, or Flora Your Way Box) in two different sizes. Available every week, every other week, or upon request. Boxes are delivered to South Eastern Wisconsin and Fox Cities residents. $29.99 https://florafruitco.com/ #myfavoritethingsmke
