25 cm empire-skärm i kalendula kritstreck

The tape trim is a nice solid contrast to the cotton print, and the yellow feels warmer in person than on screen. It's casting a really gentle glow in my reading nook now, exactly the comforting tone I was hoping for.

The stripes really are chalky and soft-edged, just like the description says—they almost look hand-painted. That calendula yellow is so warm and comforting, it brightens up my whole reading corner. The cotton shade feels well-made, and the solid tape trim finishes it off nicely.

The stripe pattern isn't perfectly straight, but that's exactly why it feels handmade and charming rather than machine-perfect. The calendula yellow is softer in person, more like creamy butter than a harsh mustard, and the cotton has a nice breathable weight to it.
