by Cindi Sutter, Chief Communicator & Editor of Spirited Table®
Sometimes presents are found unwrapped and untouched for a lot of years. These 20 truths were given to me by a friend in 2005, and now they surfaced in my (getting cleaner all the time) office. Amazing what treasures I’ve found and how great it is with a freshly organized area.
