I grew up going to see The Nutcracker every year. I guess that's what happens when your Russian ballet teacher tells you you're too chubby to audition for it--when you're 8. No hard feelings, I swear. Illustrator Michelle Christensen, photography Jessica Peterson, hairstylist Aubrey Nelson, and I spent a glorious day with model/ballet dancer (and vintage seller and crafter) Nicole Choules of Elsa Bags making props and having a ton of fun doing this shoot. I thought Christmas was the perfect way to show it off. Merry Christmas! Thank you sincerely for following along on my crafty adventures. You mean the world.
