Christmas Mingle Recap

Homespun ATL Christmas Mingle GatheringPhotos by Morgan Blake12 This past holiday we had a little 'Christmas Mingle' for the Homespun community. We had a spread of snack, a spiced bourbon punch, live music, and took a collection of nonperishable goods.

We are grateful for our friends, new and old, that have come alongside us to support Homespun. This a special community, and this year hold so many excited opportunities. Thank you to all that came out!

Special thanks to Morgan Blake for capturing the evening, Haley Sheffield and friends for entertaining us with those sweet tunes, and  Juli Vaughn for hosting in her beautiful studio and decorating. You can view the full gallery here.
