I love little bunting flag cake toppers! They’re simple, cute, and fully customizable. I first came across them back in 2013 when I was searching for a topper for our wedding cake, and ended up finding one

Organize Your Glasses

I’ve never really been able to wear contacts due to my perpetually dry eyes, so I’ve always been a glasses-wearer.
