Lights, music, and colorful hand-painted animals go around and around the carousel. A playful delight, a carousel reminds me of the power of imagination. You can “race” fellow riders upon your chosen steed and, in some cases, closely encounter exotic animals. The stitches in this cowl wrap around to create a whimsical pattern inspired by the magic of a carousel.
