Merry Christmas from Rake and Make!
Happy Holidays everyone! We have spent the last couple of days doing all of my favorite things; visiting with family and friends, cuddling with the dogs, cooking, baking, eating, and sharing homemade food and gifts.

Blithe Bazaar Recap
I just wanted to post a few photos from the Blithe Bazaar, that was a couple of weekends ago. Flower and I shared a table again and once again I sold almost everything I brought.
