Tablescapes, Love equals “A Nice “Pearing”
Do you ever buy something just because you love it, but you don’t really have anything to go with it? I bought this green and gray Ikat runner a while ago just because I fell in love…It was folded away for a while, patiently waiting for me to put it to use…I “played” with it, … Continue reading
