Links I Love Week 51
This weekend, I shipped my last order of 2022 for The Print Shop. I am taking time off for our wedding and honeymoon. I will be back to blogging and shipping in early 2023. It felt very emotional wrapping up the last order. This year has been a rollercoaster and another pivot as the world reopened and travel resumed. A lot of people were out of their homes and back to Paris and other destinations.
I had some BIG goals in 2022 and I am happy to say, I reached almost all of them. I am a little shy of one goal but I have until the end of the year to make it happen.
Right now, I am putting all my energy and focus on our family and praying for good weather for the big day.
You will see me for one more post in 2022 before I sign off for the year. I have a special Links I Love on Christmas for you to enjoy while I am offline.
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for this week’s links I love.

My fiancé thinks I can pack in a carry-on for two weeks between our wedding and honeymoon. I have surrendered to a small checked bag that I will most likely mail back in between. This Longchamp bag is always a great foldable bag in case you need to add additional items. I also used it in Paris on this last trip to bring things home.

Chicago weather dropped overnight and it feels like bone-chilling cold winter is here. My trick for keeping warm on walks with Henri is hand warmers and a fleece-lined hat like this one. I lost mine recently and need a backup or two. This is a great price.
