About Me:
Hi! My name is Lucy McClure; I am a blogger and owner of a small business called bel monili by l.marlane. I hand-craft one of a kind pieces of jewelry and home accessories using upcycled vintage materials. I adore all things pre-loved!
Favorite area of home improvement:
I live in a very small space (a one bedroom condo!) so I'm always interested in creative storage options and small space redos.
