I'll have more to share once I steal more photos from my mom, we get our photos back from our photographer, and I download the honeymoon photos. But for now: everything was great! ... Read more »

Modern Vintage Chicago giveaway and interview
Awhile after the vintage show we attended in late February (I demand to know how it's already April!)
