There She Goes: Fall Is In The Air (Fall pre-orders, that is).
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
Okay, yeah you’re right, it’s definitely not Fall BUT this week the heat wave in Denver broke and it was a loveeeelyyyy 84 degrees one day 😅 AND Fall pre-orders for Thorn Alexander are live! So for this week’s edition, sit back (perhaps beside a fan) with a drink in your hand (iced tea or margarita both welcome!) and enjoy the goodies we have in store.
By the way — did you see Thorn Alexander mentioned in Martha Stewart? Check it out!
PS. We’ve had this pup, Buckwheat for three weeks now & he’s already grown! Phew, raising a puppy is no small feat, but it is rewarding. If you are not yet tired of hearing about him, check out She & Jim’s latest post!
What’s new… so many things!
This just in…
