Frescura Shawl

The Frescura Shawl is discounted 25% until end of day, Sunday, November 8, 2026.

There is something about spring that reenergizes me. The weather starts to warm up, the brightly colored flowers begin to bloom, and it feels like a fresh start to the year. Early morning walks in the spring air start my day as the heaviness of the winter goes back into hibernation. The blooming inspirations of the spring awakening drew me into designing the whimsical Frescura Shawl. With the floral lace bottom border and the garter body shawl shape, with optional bling, it is sure to brighten your spring day!
