My dear friend Jessica is having a sweet girl in April. Ava’s nursery is so pretty and I am going to be painting this for her sweet space. Also I will be out of town with the WHOLE kit and caboodle starting tomorrow—so I will not be blogging for a little under a week. Have…

If you are like me, you have been swept away by the magic of Downton Abbey and are now in a sweet post Season 2 hangover. They say it will make its grand return in the fall, which makes me happy. In the meantime you can listen to the music and you can also buy…
