I received this absolutely gorgeous black Tatted Lace Necklace from www.etsy.com/shop/TotusMel . I had never seen anything quite like it but fell instantly in love.

I received this adorable package from Janice at http://www.maddiemoes.com/ – all the way from Ireland! It was wrapped up so prettily with love tape and handmade hang tags.

I’m getting excited about decorating for Easter this year! I’ve found Pinterest to be overflowing with a treasure-trove of ideas and projects- so many that I really have to narrow it down and focus or I’ll never have time to complete any of them. While I contemplate the new elements I will add to this […]
