OUR STORY
With so many wonderful friends overlapping in our lives, we honestly have no idea how it took us so long to cross paths. But from the moment we were introduced at a small east Austin gallery, it was obvious to us that our new friendship was meant to be so much more.
We share a love of so many things - earth tones, IKEA meatballs, expensive sit-down dinners and regrettable delivery, earth tones, fashion, expensive hair products and more earth tones.
But most of all, we share an unconditional love for each other.
