christmas decorating begins & other things

The past couple of years, I have reserved Christmas decorating for myself and my family. I shared what I did on my blog, but I wasn’t doing things just to blog about them. I needed it after years of Christmas going until February (due to photo shoots), circling back again in April (for freelance projects), […]
antique pine hutch

I went out antiquing last week and I wasn’t planning on purchasing any furniture. But, I just can’t help myself. Furniture seems to find me the way a lost dog often seems to end up in the path of a dog-lover.
