Hopper | Dandelion Military Child Day - Chocolate Washed Canvas
Dandelion Collection — honoring the strength behind the story.
In honor of the Month of the Military Child, we created the Dandelion Collection—a reflection of the strength, resilience, and reality of military children.
This is not just a collection for them—it’s a way to honor them.
The ones who have moved more times than they can count.
The ones who have said goodbye too early.
The ones who carry loss, uncertainty, and quiet weight.
And the ones who continue to show up, adapt, and grow through it all.
The Meaning Behind the Dandelion
The dandelion tells that story.
It blooms bright and steady—but it also let's go. Its seeds are carried by the wind, landing in new places, starting again.
-
The yellow bloom — strength, presence, and resilience
-
The seed head (fluff ball) — change, transition, and new beginnings
Both are true at the same time—just like the lives of military children.
Each piece in this collection features custom dandelion embroidery on our washed canvas—capturing both stages as a symbol of what it means to stay grounded while constantly moving. Every piece is uniquely its own.
Why It Matters
Military children carry more than what you see.
They carry stories of change, of resilience, of sacrifice—some seen, some not.
This piece is a way to recognize all of it.
Carry the meaning. Honor their story. Grow through it all.

Inspiration Behind the Name:
Grace Hopper—She Developed a New Computer Language
Setting the scene: It’s 1928. Grace Hopper graduates from Vassar with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics. She’s determined to learn more—it’s been this way since she was a little girl. She plans to get her master's and Ph.D. from Yale, and she is certain she can do it. This is just the beginning of Miss Grace Hopper.
Writing her legacy: At a young age she showed promising and frankly ultra-impressive initiative. She was determined to serve her country in a huge way and joined the United States Navy Reserve. Her insane smarts landed her a role on the Bureau of Ships Computation Project where she eventually suggested the use of a new programming language using English in place of symbols. Naturally, people were hesitant but were curious. This was the beginning of the computer language “COBOL”. Hopper went on to serve in the military and built important systems for 43 years and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral and decorated with countless awards (excuse us while we pick up our jaw from the floor). Even after her retirement, she worked as a consultant to Digital Equipment Corporation aiding on committees, lecturing, and visiting engineering facilities. Her success in a male dominated field deserves a standing ovation. You go Grace!
Fun fact: she coined the term “debugging” in reference to fixing an issue within a computer when she found an actual moth within the system.
How to Clean a Canvas Bag:
When spot cleaning the canvas, we suggest using a brush or sponge with water only to wipe it off soiled area. We do not recommend using anything other than water as it could discolor canvas material.
