When I was a little girl, we had a guest speaker in my 7th grade class, she was an aviator traveling around the world. It was of-course not Amelia Earhart, considering I am 25.

I have fallen in LOVE. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is a 1940's fly fisherman's jacket. The most amazing piece. You can expect an illustration of it soon to be fallowed by my rendition of the actual piece, the perfect jacket for Fall in California.
