Links I Love Week 48
This week has been crazy busy between Cyber Monday for the blog and the end of The Print Shop sale. It has been a struggle to balance both. There are a lot more gift guides I planned this year and still hope to release. I have learned so much this year with timing and know that I can’t always do it all. This year especially, I had no slower months creating projects like The Paris Guide and calendars. I am grateful for how everything has turned out in 2023 and appreciate your continued support!
The last day to place orders for the holiday is December 10 in The Print Shop. I am working on sending orders now. If your order or tote hasn’t shipped, it should this week!
I will be taking some much-needed time off going into the holidays. Things will slow down, and I look forward to baking cookies, watching movies, spending time with family, and celebrating my first anniversary with my husband!
A Sézane Gift Guide and a very special giveaway are on the blog. There are TEN $50 gift cards up for grabs.

Winners will be announced on December 8th. Make sure to check your email.
