1 week until the Ferndale DIY Street Fair! We're launching a few new items this year and I'll be showcasing them here and on Instagram leading up to the show. We've had many requests for placemats and we're pleased to introduce these, made with 5mm merino wool felt and printed with our scattered stars print. #diysf #felt #wool #stars #holiday #fiestaware
