And I didn't plan to include it in the post when doing the shoot, but came across it again in the meantime...Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-58218606843391825362012-08-01T02:22:20.601+02:002012-08-01T02:22:20.601+02:00Gorgeous, gorgeous post.
