I am in love with these sweet painted heart tea light holders we made. This was a fun collaborative effort with K and I, and not only did it give us a fun little mommy and son time together, but we now have a gorgeous new tea light holder that also functions as beautiful Valentine’s… [Read More]

Funny enough, we were back in… [Read More]

This idea was introduced to us at our local Waldorf school, and the idea of the lit lantern is to carry light and help guide us into the darkness of winter. K and I love working on these together.
