One of the best conversations I have had with a customer about one of my vintage /organic cotton blankets happened earlier this summer at the Oak Bay night market. Granted, my customer had just come from the Pennyfarthing after a night out with one of her girlfriends and she was a bit tipsy. But she was so much fun, and got me laughing about vintage fabrics and the stories they tell.
This blue Summer Blanket is what inspired her story-telling that night (IT'S THE EXACT SAME FABRIC AS THE CURTAINS AT MY PARENT'S COTTAGE), her reminiscing, and dreaming of her brother's soon to be born babe. The cottage and the curtains are long gone, but a new baby is a-coming, with a new story to tell.
