Anthea Blouse in Sky Blue Linen from Art and Quilting in Camden

While visiting my favorite local shop, Fiddlehead Artisan Supply, one of the young women working there had on her version of this blouse.

Down the rabbit hole to Sutton Hoo from Art and Quilting in Camden

In 2014, I decided to travel to England again.
