Spring Shawls

When I attended the San Mateo Gem and Jewelry Show, I was not looking for shawls. But when I found this selection with butterflies and flowers in bright spring colors, I had to bring some back! The prices are great at only $25 each. They are lightweight, just right for keeping the chill off in the evenings. They are made from 70% Pashmina and 30% silk and have a delightful feel. Available exclusively at Natural Bridges State Beach.
Remember that Mother's Day is coming up on May 8th!
