Here’s what I’ve been up to lately, via Instagram. Left: This afternoon’s adventures in leather dyeing. Will share more about this soon! Right: My antique mall purchases.

DIY Gift Guide: For the Stylish Lady
One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is putting together my DIY gift guides. In my efforts to find cool (but relatively easy) tutorials, I get to look at tons of craft projects. Some are new ones I discover, and others are projects I’ve seen before but had forgotten about. By the time […]
