The White Issue

I am so thrilled to be featured here! My shop, All Things White, and a bit of my story can be found on pages 48-55.

Heather is such an amazing and talented person. Her blog, Heather Spriggs, is wonderful and I visit it often for inspiration. Heather recently started an online magazine- this is the third issue and it's right up my alley! I couldn't have been happier when I found it she was going to be doing an all white issue. :)

Grab a cup of coffee and take some time to enjoy this gorgeous collection.
