i was more than happy to do a trade recently with one of my favorite designers, virginia johnson. i had a hard time choosing which shawl i wanted (i’ve had my eye on the camels forever), but i made the right choice with the shark pattern… i love it. when the shawl/scarf is worn the sharks aren’t really visible, so it’s not too much. it really makes me smile.
