⭐ Hello there friends!
⭐ We love this summery vase by Kristen Bach! If you know Kristen (and you probably do in our small town because she so dedicated to making our town amazing) you will see that these vibrant colors are everywhere around her! Her amazing shop , her clothes, her tattoos, she brings this joy and love to everyone. This vase truly feels like it reflects her essence, happy, beautiful and fun- and we love seeing when the art and artist are so united.
