Daisy Bell

Daisies always make me think of my Grandy, who enjoyed growing, decorating with, and painting pictures of the iconic flower. I also have a very clear memory of hearing Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two) with my Grandmom. This daisy covered cowl is a celebration of these two wonderful women.
