I love the mix of items here. Check out LeAnn's Baby Girl Bib - Reversible - Yellow Chevrons - Daisies on Yellow.

Thanks to those who linked up with me last week!  Here are a few of the items that they featured last week.  Click on the photos to check out the product listings.

I am really touched by all the people who I have inspired to start their own treasury round ups with awesome shop features and write ups!  Please link up with me and grab a button for your own post.  I know that not everyone posts these rounds ups on Sundays, which is fine.  I will leave this link up open all week.

If you link up, take the time to visit and comment on at least one other post.  No one benefits from linking up if we don't all support each other.  Thanks!

almost Wordless Wednesday: Kenosha lakefront revisited

You probably didn't think that you'd see any more lake photos from me for a while, right? Jake and I were in Kenosha again over the weekend, and I got to have a final summer photo session at the lakefront there. Enjoy.

Are there any subjects that you never seem to get tired of photographing?
