For some people, sunny days are for spending time at the beach or sipping drinks on the patio... but I have never been one of them. I'm not saying I can't step out...

I grew up on a grain and cattle farm in southern Manitoba, surrounded by fields and vast skies. I was able to see sunsets from my yard, with brilliant colours and a different show every evening...

Have you ever had a piece of fabric that you absolutely love, but just can't seem to find the right spot to use it? That was the case for me and this lovely (though quite busy) nostalgic print....
