Calendula

Back when I was little, my father used to take me flower picking in a beautiful field just down the road from our farmhouse. We would return home with fistfuls of vibrant yellows, whites, and oranges, carefully arranging them in Mason Jars that decorated our breezy living spaces. The radiant gold of this yarn captures the essence of those cherished memories, evoking the warmth and joy of my childhood.

As many of you know, my father passed away unexpectedly five years ago, and this dress serves as my heartfelt homage to those beautiful moments we created together. Now, as a mother to two little girls, I am eager to recreate those special experiences with my family. This dress is designed to inspire sweet and simple adventures, much like the small yet meaningful memories that made my childhood so extraordinary.

The delicate yellow flowers on this stunning dress are textured and subtle, reminiscent of the fleeting nature of childhood. Just as these little moments can easily slip away unnoticed, so too can the precious years with your little ones if you don’t take the time to appreciate them. However, for those who do choose to look closely, the beauty nestled in those small details shines brightly! This dress is perfect for flower picking outings or any occasion where you want to celebrate the little joys in life.
