I Haven’t Attained It

Finally, my white blouse (which I happened to be wearing) is in Meg Magazine! And DJ (our beloved hundred year old oven) is in it, too!  When I posted the preview photo last month of the fun photoshoot at the shop, friends were drawn to… the blouse! Heehee. The Meg team is a great, hardworking, inspiring team. But their…
