Golden Hour

A fleeting moment that passes by quickly, and is easily missed. With a chill in the air and a hot cup in my hands, the sun begins to rise and the sky turns into gold. Light rays cut through the clouds to begin the day. Taking time to stop and enjoy all the beauty of the Golden Hour is what inspired this oversized shawl. Wanting to hold onto this moment and be wrapped in this warmth all day long.
