When we first opened our doors in 2017, we knew that we would outgrow the shop space – FAST!

Alex looks positively angelic in some of her pictures, and she has a pretty fun sense of humor.  This Houston-based blogger doesn't see much snow, but that doesn't stop her from living her best Christmas life.
