My darling friend Margo has just launched her Etsy Shop! I am helping her kick it off by introducing her to you… it is called June Louise Boutique. 

Margo is super crafty, a wonderful cook, and just always has the best ideas. She is one of my favorite people in the whole world. She is so nice, friendly, caring, and always goes out of her way to make people feel special. Her shop is going to be a hit! She is starting off by selling the cutest girly headbands and bows, and she is giving one lucky winner one item of their choice!
