Dear Santa.. The Laura Rowe Edition

I am beyond excited to introduce you to Laura Rowe (and welcome Twirl readers!). For those of you who don't know Laura..

Laura is one of those people who just makes you want to be a better person. She's mother to the world's most adorable little family, snaps unbelievable photographs, and can do some serious crafting. Laura's big heart shines through every aspect of her work and that is something to admire. Since I know you'll google and ogle Laura after this adorable post, I'll try to make it easier for you.. check out her blog, hire her for portraits & weddings, and stalk her instagram where you will ultimately fall in love with Veda Jane, forever.

Hey there Roam & Wander readers! I'm Laura, and I'm thrilled to be hanging out with you over here today! 

I blog over at Twirl about my life and the people that make it a full one. 

I'm a photographer, but the majority of my time is spent chasing my Veda Jane, 

hanging out with the husband, and making a new city feel like home. 

That "homeyness" I tend to craft my way into, is the thing I love the most about the holidays. 

I love the way December's days are charmed with inexpressible joy,

and the way every memory in the making conjures up an unshakable sense of nostalgia.

 There is no peace like the easy feeling I have during this season 

of basking in the presence of people I love, celebrating the ultimate show of God's love to us. 

In the spirit of showing love, gift giving makes me downright giddy.

I'm  excited to share a few of the gifts I'm loving this season, 

and honored Jessie invited me to, seeing as she is the queen of style and all things swoon-worthy!

Nevertheless, here you have it!

Oh, and I removed the Dyson vacuum cleaner I had on it at first, 

because it made me feel old to have things like vacuums on a wish list. 

But then again I replaced it with an electric tea kettle...
