Links I Love Week 33
This week was full of ups and downs. I started off with a socially distanced wine and cheese afternoon with friends in the backyard which was lovely. Plus, NEW Paris notecards have landed in the shop. There are two new images you have to see. I have had a bit more anxiety than normal and had a bit of a meltdown towards the middle of the week. You can read more about it in this personal post here. I am going to slow things down this coming week, get some rest, and reset. Grab your coffee and croissants and enjoy this week’s links.
