Growing up in South Alabama our winters were short. I remember being in shorts on some Christmas mornings. January would usually turn cold but by February I’d know Spring was on her way because of the bright yellow daffodils popping out of the ground.
Daffodils are such a cheery flower and it doesn’t surprise me that this simple bloom generally marks the first signs of Spring. After a cold, and drab winter - a flower with bright yellow petals and vibrant green stems alerts us that the gray world we have all been living in is coming to a close. A spark of hope if you look at it metaphorically - a simple reminder before the glory and splendor of the Spring!
Ironically, this pattern erupted from a sketch on my iPad several years ago - three little blooms that reminded me of daffodils. I built out the pattern over time and this sweet little sketch turned into a whimsical pattern. As I played with colors, I found that I liked it even more and this year decided to let her have her debut.
I’ll be offering these in a variety of applications - tea towels, cocktail napkins, Monogramed notecards, and even pillows. You can shop tea towels now and be on the lookout as new products pop up over the next few weeks.
