A trip to San Francisco can be a little overwhelming if you don’t know your way around. One wrong turn and you are being proselytized by a shabby-looking Mary J. Blyth. I thought I might be able to help, just a little, but then again, maybe you really like Mary J. Blyth, in any form. […]

Things are slowly coming together for Elise’s outfit for the upcoming Broughton Quarterly. I have ordered this skirt from Made with Love by Hannah, Here. The next issue will have a vintage theme.
