“Our mission is to help parents to see the joy in the midst of the most mundane moments, to choose present over speed living, real over rushed, cherished presents over meaningless gifts.” Um, I ❤️ this! This is what Vana Chupp, Founder, Creative Director and mama behind @lepapierstudio says about her company and their heirloom pieces like this silhouette necklace. Read the rest of her interview via link in bio. I’m pretty sure you will be searching for a picture of your kiddos to send her way!
