One Bag Goes To New York

I spent all of last weekend in New York, where I’m from. I’ve been in love with the incredible Collected Treasures Satchel for quite some time and I finally got my hands on it, so of course I brought it with me for the weekend! I wanted to share my weekend with you guys in the form of a Blogger Diary, but my bag had other plans. It asked if it could write its own blog post as a guest blogger.

It’s a little more invoved than a lot of DIYs I’ve seen lately, but with something like a tent, I’d say that’s expected.

These last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to plan a little wedding party for my sister who is getting married in December. Being the Maid of Honor I have to have a helping in hand in her planning, so there has been a lot of tear gathering and folder making over the past few months. Read More
