It’s Fall Y’all! Favorite Sweater-Weather Home Decor at The Palm House
There’s a crispness in the air in KC, and I’m here for it. The first day temps dropped below 70 last week, I lit a pumpkin spiced candle and broke out all of the fall decorations. I don’t know if it’s because we’re home more due to COVID and needed something to “look forward to,” [...]
