Hello lovely readers! I have returned albeit briefly to tell you that I will be out of pocket for a while. Although I love blogging about all of my favorite things, I’m going to have to put this on the back burner until my school/work schedule calms down a bit. I’ll be back posting around Chri...

On a quick side note, I have to say you guys are knocking it out of the park on the paper swap. I’m extremely impressed.

Remember the Red String Secret letter set I blogged about from Wonderland Room? The designer is a Korean company called T-Table and they have an entire line of beautiful cards and mobiles.
I had a bit of a hard time tracking all of these down. Luckily, Australia is an awesome country and there’s ... Comment - Like

If I were to write a book about my life, I would call it: “I love presents!” because I do. Which is why I was so excited when I received this wonderful package from the lovely Carina of Crow & Canary last week. But I’ve been so busy that I didn’t have time to post about it ... Comment - Like
