Everything’s Coming Up Roses!

19 Dec

I have never been one for buying tons of jewelry.  I tend to have a few classic pieces that I either wear everyday, or rotate.  Ever since my husband first took me to look at engagement rings, I have a new found passion for all things sparkly and shiny.  My latest obsession is rose gold.

Fun Read: Craft Magazine

23 Oct

  While perusing the magazine section of Borders last year I happened upon this delightful little magazine that was still in it's infancy.   Bored by all the Suzie Homemaker sewing and craft magazines that are normally available, I was really excited to see a magazine that was unique and hip.  At ...
