The Afterparty

southern bags

Saturday I had close to 30 beautiful, southern {but for two} vibrant, non killer women to my house for the Blessings Unlimited Party.  Words cannot describe the kind of nervous frenzy I work myself into in the weeks leading up to hosting a group of women.  Much less a group of women that I’ve yet [...]

Tail of a Silhouette

silhouettes
