Lisa & Macca’s Vintage Inspired Convent Wedding Photos by Timothy Burgess
Well Dotties I think we are almost out of the sugar coma of our birthday celebrations (I lie, I can’t bear to part with the last few slices, I mean glitter polka dots! edible ones!!) and we are well and truly into the year. Happy first week back to those of you that returned to work this week. I hope it was quiet and lovely and peaceful for you (a girl can dream!)
One place it wasn’t quiet and peaceful was around the polka blogs, we’re speeding up content this year and we have plenty to come!
