I've had this beautiful fabric in sosovintage for awhile with no takers. So, I decided a bit of it would be just the thing for a Memorial Day makeover!

The red, white, and blue today is dedicated to my late Grandpa Copeland. He joined the Navy at 17 and had his ship blown out from under him in Pearl Harbor. He went on to fight in the Korean War, where he was a POW for 18 months. He also fought in the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.

I remember him as the man who would chase me around the coffee table tickling me until I couldn't breathe. The man who would stop traffic for a fresh watermelon. The man who loved (and fed) squirrels and seagulls, and who could grow vegetables in his sleep. I miss you, Grandpa, and I remember you every day.
