UncommonGoods graciously opened up the doors to its online storeroom and offered me to review almost any item of my choosing. Talk about being like a kid in a candy store, …
Reorganizing all of our Christmas trimmings put us over the edge, you could say. Or maybe it was caused by an onslaught of new toolage, wedding shiz, or plain hurriedness …
In preparing for our wedding, I sourced local salvage shops with greater than normal frequency to find candles, votives, vases, trays, scrap wood, you name it, and sometimes, which, less …
