Hello, lovely friends. First, let me take this opportunity to apologize for any crazy posting this week (posts being moved around last minute, etc.) Technically speaking, it has been a “lemons into lemonade” kind of week for us. We are hoping (a) that you understand and forgive our out of whack-ness (new word!) and (b) that you are absolutely NOT having the same kind of week. We hope your week was full of peace and patience and joy and unexpected bliss. As usual. That being said…Please do not forget to enter this week’s fantastic giveaways! Tell your neighbors, tell your friends…

1. a one of a kind bracelet AND a $25 gift certificate from Libby Story

2. a prize package including a tote bag, pinback buttons, and a print from Meera Lee Patel
