So I had people over, we put things in buckets, they came out blue, and a good time was had by all. But then, then a few days later as I was dragging the conglomeration of seating options I'd hauled out for the festivities back to their usual locations, I [...]

Help me decide! Should we do a regular mail club shipment next week, or a double mail club shipment next month? These started out with the organza laces (shout out to the eight year old ballerina still dwelling deep in my heart), and the original plan had been to send [...]
