    Recent Transactions

    Let’s be honest, I love buying things. I love finding something pretty or useful and adding it to my virtual or literal cart. I love getting home and finding a new spot for the item. I love it when a package arrives at my house. The whole shopping experience is just my favorite. I thought…
