perfect things for spring….
charming fabrics, teapots, and my new novel (I have no intention on reading it, I was intrigued by its vintagey cover and the tension between the two girls in the painting on the cover). Book is from the thrift shop, of course. The first two pics are from a store filled to the brim with …
