Links I Love Week 50
The year is starting to slow down a bit. Friday was the last day to get orders in for The Print Shop and I was in bed at 9 pm with Henri watching Firefly Lane. I am looking forward to getting some rest, spending time with family, and baking cookies. We also have a very exciting upcoming wedding later this month.
Thank you so much to everyone that entered the 10 days of giveaways. It has been so much fun to surprise readers with some of my favorite things. You can see the updated winners in this post. I do have a surprise last item. One lucky reader will win my favorite Staub pieces! If you are already entered, you don’t need to do anything else. I will email the winner tomorrow evening.
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for links I love. ❤️
