That was months ago...maybe a half year. Yes, and I love your creativity...it just shines through in your work. I like your photos as well, and I've enjoyed using you in some of my treasuries, because you have a discerning eye--original and up-to-date. Love your work!

  44. Lovely Laura, you are so sweet and it's a pleasure to be your follower...I didn't remember how I found your blog so I looked in my browser history and I found it! Now I remember! I was reading Stephanie's blog of the Crimson Owl and a button on the sidebar caught my attention... it was the button of Violetbella's blog. Since then I met your wonderful world of sweet vintage pictures and positive feelings.

    Let's see, I found your blog, almost a year ago, through The Sunshine Studio when you were featured there. I was completely enamored when I read all about you and thought, "this girl is so cool, I could see myself hanging out with her!" And I continue reading because you're incredibly inspiring, have a fresh outlook and ideas, and are always so supportive. <3<3<3
