Hi!  I'm Carolyn Ward, creator and owner of Alice&Victor. A&V has been around for over 13 years, and I figured it was about time that I started a blog to go with it, to have a home base other than the shop on Etsy or the facebook page. I want to show you some of what goes on behind the scenes, answer some questions, and let you know in advance of sales and new product drops.  Welcome here! I'm looking forward to hanging out with you...
