dear followers, I am making the difficult decision to incorporate this blog’s nature and subject matter with my original blog in an effort to provide a more holistic blog on the subject of great Etsy shops, DIY projects and design tips for the home. I had hoped to be able to maintain the two simultaneously but I am simply not able to keep up with the amount of diligent posting I prefer. I implore you to check out my amy+mayd blog as I will continue to incorporate my Etsy candy picks as part of my content. I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your readership and support! Best Wishes!
