The 15th annual spring shopping spree begins on Sunday, May 5 and runs through Tuesday, May 7th. Many crowd-favorite vendors will return for this year's event, as well as first-time vendors selling new products! 

Here are four vendors to check out at this year's Unique Boutique: 

1. La Cigale (French linens): Since 1999, La Cigale has celebrated the "Table Art of Provence" by offering vibrant collections of Provençal Tablecloths and elegant table linens. La Cigale guarantees the highest quality Provençal products by working hand-in-hand with designers, weave mills, print mills and several family sewing shops in France and Spain that have been passing down the rich heritage of textile production for centuries. La Cigale proudly provides with the finest Country French Provençal tablecloths that are “Purely Provençal. Truly French. Simply Beautiful!”
    
2. Sababa (Israeli jewelry): Sababa specializes in handmade Israeli jewelry. The Sababa team travels the backroads of Israel to discover and bring you the finest Israel artisans. Their shop at Unique Boutique will feature 10 Israel artists, with styles ranging from contemporary to traditional, so shoppers are sure to find a piece to match their taste.  
    
3. Ibhana Creations (women's clothing): Ibhana Creations is a culmination of three loves: design, textiles, and people. Ibhana offers an exclusive line of women's apparel and accessories crafted by the leading fashion designers from the USA, Canada, and France. These spectacular collections have an outfit for any style, from a flair for the dramatic to classic chic.
    
4. Faye Mendelsohn Cosmetics (makeup and skin care products): Ms. Mendelsohn began her career as a makeup artist in 1984, creating new images and iconic looks for women in the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas. As a professional make up designer, Faye worked for photographers, modeling agencies, wedding consultants and physicians. She appeared on the QVC Shopping Network and the Phil Donahue Show. As her career grew, Faye developed a concealer which could be used on sensitive skin. The easy-to-apply concealer masks imperfections with a natural look. With the success of her Perfect Concealer, Faye expanded her line of cosmetics into foundations, powders, and color selections.
