Peppermint here this week with The Lilypad Designer Spotlight. It's fitting that I'm covering Cori Gammon this week because we've got a bit of a history together, I've been bothering her on a regular basis for years now.

A soft palette of Spring colors and elements.Inspiration from the Pollys!In the time that she's been … [Read more...]
