While I’ve been sort of AWOL with family visiting and volunteering responsibilities and the crazy schedules of spring term, I haven’t stopped adding to stash! This lovely geometric bundle hopped into my shopping bag and now it’s slated to become something new. The prints are bold, modern and I adore the clean lines. Totally up my alley!
