My brother opened his long-awaited Etsy shop: SaveTheFarm.etsy.com. He has made these BEAUTIFUL dresses that are one-size fits all, and one-dress-fits-all-occasion.

I know, it took everything I had not to do an “April Showers” theme… had I known the weather we’d be having, it would have been perfect! The party was this weekend, and we had a fun time. We have a great room at my complex that I rent out often. It’s free to use, [...]
