    My gosh, Karianne. You and your husband look like you're on the cover of a lovely southern magazine. Such gorgeous, authentic style. You two are the cutest and always so joyful looking together. Good for you. Thanks so much for the shoutout on the button cookies. I hope you give them a try. They're so cute to gift (and add a sweet, handcrafted button tag). Hope you're enjoying the summer. -Lisa, xoxo

    As always, excellent thistles this week, KA! You and your handsome Mr. look GREAT! Ah - the girls' first apartments. What fun. I bet you will enjoy helping them big time. Difficult for me to even believe the students are going back to school very very soon. It's too danged soon. It's summer!!! TOO EARLY!!!! My grand girl is going to school with other children - first grade - for the first time so this is a HUGE deal for her. (She was homeschooled for pre-K and K due to Covid concerns.) So I am so excited for her!!!!
