We just got back from a quick road trip to Virginia. You never realize how much you miss blogging and reading everyone's blogs until you leave town without your laptop!

I used Paris Grey and Pure White. I dressed them up using some vintage lace. This one also has a hand-stamped Fleur de Lis tag. I added some French script pins to the white one.
