My
husband's mother, whose maiden name was Genevieve Doucet was French
Canadian and had a grandmother from France she would often mention. Gen was a lovely lady who I really admired in so many ways. She loved
her family, writing poetry and was in the garden, gardening almost every
day of her life. She also loved flower arranging and the top right photo shows all of her flower holders. The flower hold in the middle is interesting, it is in two parts, one is moon shaped so they could be used together or separated. The top right holder is attached in a small dish which is handy for smaller plants. I think they are so beautifully rustic.
Flower
holders are very handy for other things as well, scissor holders as
shown on the bottom left, photo holders and I thought I would show also a
miniature use in the middle photo.
I
wanted to make vines for a miniature display and wrapped wire around a
comb and then made the loops go in two different directions, then I
glued leaves onto each loop. I was thinking that instead of a comb these
flower holders would work well. You can also use this technique for
wire structures and for making miniature bows.
Thought
I would show some of my lovely French sewing postcards and small
vintage scissor collection. Love the Eiffel tower scissors.
Cheers, Jean
