Have you dreamed of discovering a secret garden? A beautiful, magical hideaway that only you know about, where you can sit in peace in the sunshine and smell the intoxicating perfumes of the flowers, while the birds and bees give the perfect audio backdrop? This pattern was inspired by the idea of that beautiful secret little nook.
