There even  might be something […]

Making plans {on a rainy sunday}

I love how during a rainy Sunday new ideas can be born. Like many of us, I had a lazy morning in bed with breakfast, coffee and magazines. (love the double ones I can rip out the pages I love) I was thinking on how the room looked before when it belonged to one off […]
