Monday Morning Mosaic

Back to School time is here!

All those kids are going back to school. Some start in August, others in September, but one thing is the same no matter when they start... they need STUFF. Lots of stuff. Supplies and clothes and other things.

And any chance to go shopping is another chance to show your support for handmade over commercialism so don't forget all those handmade artisans out there ready to help you start the school year off right!
