Our little Luna dreams of milk and moon, and her namesake has inspired some of the coolest baby gifts… Merci y’all!

Ok, so I love this photo… but I also can’t look past the stars in their artistic but impossible location in the gibbous Earthshine under baby:)

The dim light is reflected from the Earth to the Moon and back to the Earth as Earthshine. The bright crescent is plain ole moonshine. EarthshineMore cool outfits…a menagerie of dreams made manifest
