I love the fall and fall colors. It reminds me of family, security, comfort. The red dots represent my son (age 16) who plays tennis. My ex-husband and I adopted him from Bulgaria at age 2. I don’t have any Bulgarian fabric! The matryoshka dolls represent my daughter (21) who was born in Russia and adopted at age 3. I’ve been married for 5 years to my good friend from high school. He gets the red hearts because I love him dearly. Last but not least, I love coffee and my kitties. Oops, I forgot to take a picture of the back. Flowers make me happy so they cover the back of my mug rug!
