SAN JUAN PLUSH

Despite the fact Father's Day came and went a month ago, my dad received his handmade reward for being an outstanding fatherly figure last weekend. But worth the wait it was. As an avid boater and island explorer, my dad likes both maps and cozy adornments for his boat. Infuse these interests and obviously you get a felt San Juan Island throw pillow.
