I'm a fellow polka dot fan, too, and constantly find myself drawn to these darling wee spots (my mom loves polka dots as well and I think I must have inherited my love of them from her - perhaps there's a polka dot loving gene :) ).<br /><br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
