Elizabeth and I are doing a dual authored post for this jewelry line. We kinda fought about who got to write it as we both LOVE this jewelry line SO MUCH. So, after a lot of “really, you have too much on your plate, I’ll write this post.” or “Why don’t you take a day off and let me write this one, really, I’m good with that,” we both realized that...

Local Halloween Decor + Pretty Fall Flowers

Posted by Liza on Oct 14, 2009 in Home & Decor

I’m not a gruesome Halloween girl. All the graveyards and skeletons kind of freak me out…just a bit.
