it’s here.

exciting!-3!

It’s here! It’s finally here! The long awaited redesign is HERE.

Welcome, welcome all, to the new Dear Friend. :)

I am giddy with excitement. LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING.

I would love it if you took some time to look around. Grab a cup of coffee! Stay awhile! There’s a new about page, and some most-often blogged about “feature” pages, too. Though not 100% done, I’ve started to curate my best and favorite posts in those pages. They are filled with most loved photographs and topics near and dear to my heart.

This new look has been in the works for months and I can’t stop smiling about the way it all turned out. I knew I wanted it to look just so— I had a vision, but not the skill to carry it through. I am no artist and know next to nothing about web design, and so I went out looking for help and I feel like I found THE BEST.  I wanted a fresh, clean look and with the hard work and stellar skills of Kate {web development} and Jolie {logo and lettering}, we made it happen. I sent over the messy sketches and mock-ups, and it all turned into THIS! I cannot speak highly enough about these two creatives. THEY. ARE. AMAZING.

I hope you like it!

And I don’t think I say it enough, but really, honestly, truly, THANK YOU for coming here and thank you for reading. It means so much to me and I want you to know.

ALL THE HUGS. FOREVER. XO, Me.
