This newsletter is just a little early…maybe it is the excitement of SPRING finally acting like it is here…maybe it is the excitement of new fabrics and patterns arriving…or maybe it is the excitement of WESTERN WASHINGTON SHOP HOP coming up just around the corner!!! And then summer weather should be just around the corner from that!!
