Velvet is one of my favorite fabrics, the others are faux suede and leather. In…

Where Bloggers Live: My Blogging Inspiration
Funny story: my blogging buddies had a whole email chain about how we’re last minute bloggers but we were going to make deadline because *dang it* that’s what we do annnnnnd I didn’t.
