September 28, 2015

When I post behind-the-scenes shop pictures on instagram, I get a lot of questions.

Take A Bow: Hand Tied Baby Hair Bow Tutorial

September 17, 2015

Wrapped In Love

July 20, 2015

Things have been a bit busier since our Ella-bug has joined the Westwood Acres team. She spends quite a lot of time in our shop during the week and unfortunately (fortunately?)
