Fall is the season for layering, and I don’t just mean chunky knit sweaters, long socks and booties.

You can create your perfect arm or ear stack, or a […]

  I can’t believe 13 years have passed since I started this little biz ‘o mine. This path has led me through many different places and geez louise, the time has absolutely flown by! Running a small business has so many facets and while it can be so rewarding, it can also be challenging at […]
