Family Photos with Matt Giambra Photography

Happy Valentine's Day! My hubby and I recently took natural, outdoor family portraits with Matt of Matt Giambra Photography.

My First Craft Show with Pittston's 2nd Friday Art Walk

Thank you for coming out to Pittston's 2nd Friday Art Walk last week! I got a taste of the vibrant art scene in Pittston, PA, chatted with a ton of people about where to get the best local pizza in NEPA, and (of course!), found new homes for some of my favorite pieces of special, sterling silver jewelry.
