Comfy-chic sandal
Whether for a long day of running errands or sightseeing in a tropical locale, a pair of shoes that are equal parts stylish and comfortable are worth their weight in gold.

Butter dish
Pastel shades are a major home decor trend for 2023. One charming way to jump on this trend is with a handmade French butter dish from a local maker!
