As winter has subsided around here and green things have begun to grow and bloom, I’ve contracted plant fever. I can’t wait to get some seeds in the ground and maybe add a few plants indoors. Here is some green inspiration I’ve been seeing lately. For more, check out my board dedicated to plants and […]
Outfit Post: Sophisticated Lumberjack
