{guest blogger intro}

This is Ansley, our Guest Blogger for the week. Here she is in Thailand, on one of her many adventures. Ansley has a whole long list of accomplishments and talents. Along with being well-traveled and fluent in French, she is a super smart girl who just began a second career as a nurse, relocating to SLC from Portland. Originally from Charleston, she is this fun mix of refined Southern girl and hip Portlander. Every time I talk to Ansley she has some really cool crafty, DIY project going on. Once it was handmade photo books for her family. Another time it was recovering a mid century chair in estate sale fabric. And yet another time, she was making herself a copy of a glass bubble lamp from an Anthropologie catalog. Most of her furniture is rescued from Craigslist and recovered in fabulous fabrics, she of course does all this reupholstering herself. Thank you Ansley. I can’t wait to see what you have to share!
