Posted on by A Girl

As many of you know, the time has come for me to move on from A Boy, A Girl, and the Marine Corps.  I have loved blogging here, but have found that my new diagnosis and all that comes with it has made this blog feel a little less about my real life.

As time as moved on and I have continued to pimp their products I have gotten to get to know the owners and am happy to say they are just as cool as they seem like they would be.  Seriously.  They rock.  So, naturally I asked them to participate in my “Give away stuff until I run out of stuff to giveaway extravaganza.” And they said yes!  WHOOHOO!~ Forgotten Cotton is offering up a BEAUTIFUL scarf from their new spring line that I think is beyond gorgeous!  All their products are handmade by the owners and trust me when I say love and Continue reading Forgotten Cotton Giveaway!→
