To say I'm back sounds more than a little ridiculous. But I am. Or at least I will be. My one and only resolution 2015 is to resurrect this poor blog and Harper & Figg! So look for more posts and, ultimately, some new designs. I have had a whole series of adventures since last we met and I will share some of those as well. Here is a photo to distract you-- Meet Hannah. She was born a ... Continue Reading
What a Feeling!
