RED GINGHAM

Enjoy the little things in life 

for one day you'll look back 

and realize they were the BIG things.

There are certain fabrics - like gingham - that make me nostalgic. 

The particular color of the gingham helps me to recall specific activities. 

With RED GINGHAM I can remember picnics. Looking back . . .
