    If I ever leave California, I think it would be to Idaho. I am not sure why, but I just fell in LOVE when I visited two years ago. What a great way to incorporate your home state into your home.

    How fun! I'm from Idaho Falls, so I can totally relate! :) They really do have the best potatoes. :)

    Totally awesome! I've been following for a while and this is the first time I realized you're from Idaho--me too! We think we've grown some pretty cute kids too! :) We are working for a few weeks in CA, and REALLY missing Idaho!

    That dress had to be totally uncomfortable. But I love the idea of using potato sacks! We've made little drawstring bags out of them too.

    I'm from Pocatello. Living in WV right now, but hopefully coming back in a couple of years! I love the framed potato sack idea...that's awesome! And the hairbow is really cute. Of course, Idaho is obviously the best place to be, right? (P.S. My mom's maiden name is West...maybe we have a connection?)
