A bag of green apples is cheaper than fresh flowers, lasts longer, and looks perty!

SO far you can find good copycats. It is so fun. I love when people say "I love your chairs are they pottery barn?" I LOVE to think (I never tell) "Nope, they aren't and I didnt pay 600 bucks for it, I paid 100 and you cant even tell!"Linsey Farley Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786942138820642895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19569503.post-1141255299713142692006-03-01T15:21:00.000-08:002006-03-01T15:21:00.000-08:00Parenting magazines are the worst.
