When I was a kid, my mom and I lived in a condo in

When I was a kid, my mom and I lived in a condo in a Southern California town that still had some open spaces - remnants of the pre-freeway days when there were more fruit trees than strip malls. By the time I was in second grade, the last of the wildness was pretty much gone. There were still some orchards here and there but every fruit and vegetable that I ate came from the grocery store.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Until one day when my mom found a tiny wild strawberry plant that was growing in the planter outside our door. She picked a strawberry and handed it to me. In that moment, I finally knew what a strawberry was supposed to taste like. It was tiny but sweet and juicy and perfect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I loved that feeling of eating something wild and bursting with flavor, suburbia is in my bones. I’m not a nature girl. I don’t grow any of my own food.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, every time I put my baby, Luca in one of these California tees from @tinaproduce that my friend @rjsaylor gave to him, I think of that moment when I had my first *real* strawberry. I hold the memory with my mama and the strawberry tightly, the way I imagine I’d have held on to my first kiss memory if it hadn’t been such a letdown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This tee brings back all the magic of that childhood strawberry, plus it’s damn cute!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you need some strawberry (or other fruit) love, come meet @tinaproduce and 75+ other local makers at #PatchworkShow Santa Rosa on 12.6.20. Head to our bio link for show info & health and safety precautions.
