One of my favorite things around the web (at least since August) has been (in)courage. I am proud and honored to be one of their monthly writers, and let me tell you, I am in the company of some serious greatness. I feel so humbled.
So, two exciting things today:
1. Via (in)courage I am proud to be able to give away some of their beautiful handcrafted products today as part of My Favorite Things: Six Weeks of Free Stuff series. I’m giving away three pieces by the amazing Lindsey Cheney of the Pleated Poppy to one of my readers.
