THE WHITE BENCH BLOG
Welcome to my blog! This is my happy place on the internet.

P.S. Unfortunately, due to technical factors I can’t control, I have had to remove from my blog more than ten thousand gorgeous pictures, and hundreds of posts. I have left just a few, my favorites… There are others that I want to keep on my blog, too, but they need to be fixed- after having deleted all those pictures and making a mess behind the scenes! :) I’m working at them when I have the time… thanks for being patient!
