Hawthorn Berries & Blooms

Fond and not-so fond memories of running around my backyard playing as a kid only to get a sweater or jacket snagged on the dreaded hawthorn tree! I've been working on more nature-inspired prints this Spring in preparation for local summer markets! 🌞

Fun Fact: Haweater is a name given to a person born on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. The name derives from the prevalence of hawberries among the Island's vegetation. Originally it was reported that early settlers got their vitamin C intake by eating hawberries, and thus avoided scurvy.

Alas, I've only been on the Island since I was 2 years old and have to give myself the title of "honourary haweater".
