Jewelry Stories from His Amish Wife’s Hidden Past + Bonus GIVEAWAY!
Hi there! I’m so happy you decided to join me today for a recap of some fun designs created for His Amish Wife’s Hidden Past by Mindy Steele.

I hope you’ll love this tiny glimpse into her book with each of the pieces I’ve shared below. I’ll see you at the end for a recap and behind-the-scenes glimpse into each…

If no one ever told you that running a blog was hard, much less having a side business with it, they weren’t being honest with you. It’s almost like a second full-time job! Anyway…I digress. As you can see from…
