The Best Thing to Hold Onto in Life

I met the creative folks at Caravan Shoppe—Alma and Mike Loveland and Melanie Burk—over the weekend at the Alt Summit conference. Inside a packet of goodies they gave me was this amazing Audrey Hepburn "Hold On" quote print and many more lovely things. This quote has been a fave of mine for years and the friendly folks at Caravan embody the message.

You can check out my short Vine video for the rest of the goodies from Caravan. Have you tried the new Vine app yet? I'll have a post about the  Vine video app coming soon.
