OKLAHOMA CITY -

An Affair of the Heart makes its return to the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds, bringing scores of pop-up shops to one central location.

On Friday, the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch visited the event to preview what guests can expect.

Several small business owners flock to show off their products and creations, including Micheal Ann Macaluso, the CEO of PS:121 Jewelry, who has been to An Affair of the Heart for over a decade.

"This is a fabulous show, the women that run this ... Put on such a fabulous show," Macaluso said. "They take care of us vendors. They are just phenomenal, and I love them like they're my sisters."

Macaluso said her favorite part of the event is coming back each year to see her fellow vendors, who over time, have become her friends.

"I come to Oklahoma because these are my friends, and it's so wonderful to be able to get back in touch," Macaluso said. "Everybody comes to the booth, we have such a great time. Then we get together, of course, after the show and it's just wonderful."
