Winter is finally beginning to descend upon us in the Philadelphia area and as a result I am missing summer more than ever. I keep daydreaming about hanging out on the beach, getting a tan, laying in a hammock relaxing and listening to the waves crash around me. Unfortunately, as someone paying off their college loans I can’t exactly pull together the extra cash to hop on the next jet and head to somewhere warm. In an attempt to bring the beach to me, I plan on using fun tropical novelty fabric to create a beach-y environment.
