Walk in the Leaves are inspired by the best of seasons: autumn.
It was autumn when I went to the SPCA, and fell for the sweet, elderly dog Ellie.
Ellie
lives at my parents’ place, out in the country; she’s a very happy dog
who is sweet, intelligent, and enriches our lives. It was the many
beautiful, crisp-autumn-day walks that I thought of while designing
these little lacy legwarmers.
If it weren’t for the local SPCA, she could have still been a stray dog, or perhaps even worse.
All proceeds from Walk in the Leaves will be donated to the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA. I (and all the critters!) thank you for your support.
