Our porch goose didn’t just pose—she slayed as a jewelry model!
During our photo shoot, this feathered fashionista showed off three different pairs of custom, one-of-a-kind earrings created by the insanely talented Kat & Andy Messy Cat Creations

Each pair was dreamed up especially for my Wizard of Oz adventure at the Sphere in Las Vegas and every time I see them, I’m transported right back to that once-in-a-lifetime trip. 🌈💫

Big love to:
Messy Cat Creations for turning imagination into wearable art and memories I’ll cherish forever
