This is the only one not from Newtown, but it is in Newfoundland: Garden Cove Trail just south of Swift Current.

This is no off-the-rack item. My husband gave it to me years ago after creating the artwork for a St. John’s, NL tour boat company. The owners of the Scademia* sold T-shirts with the new artwork, and Paul gifted me with a sweatshirt.

*The Scademia, the last of the Grand Banks Schooners, was an icon in the tourism industry for over 25 years.
