  96. Hello

    What a beautiful camera bag. It’s so gorgeous you’d want to use it as an everyday bag rather than just a camera bag. I would love a chance to win it.

    The clothes are beautiful as well, especially the Audrey French Tunic.

    I love your blog. I’m a new blogger (hmmm like I just started my blog yesterday) but I have been reading your blog for the last month or so. It’s very calming and beautiful.

    Your Christmas tree is beautiful as well.

    Have a good day.
