May 2nd, 2015 (WPVI) -- This weekend on FYI Philly, you've heard the Joni Mitchell song 'they paved paradise and put up a parking lot?' Well, we'll take you to a place that is the opposite...a parking lot transformed into a little piece of paradise. From the city, we head to the country for a farm fresh feast in a South Jersey market by day, restaurant at night. Think chainmail is for medieval knights in armor? A local artist is weaving the little metal circles into wearable works of art. With summer heat and humidity in full force, we get tips on mastering the art of the blowout - and it all starts in the shower. Plus, we indulge our sweet tooth with some James Beard nominated croissants, a tasty tart that's a twist on a traditional campfire treat...and a bake shop that hand painted their way into our hearts.
