Yesterday my friend graciously passed on to me a tin of her mother's jewelry - so much retro and vintage loveliness! My eyes immediately went to a number of brightly-colored flower pins and earrings. I love that retro flower jewelry!
I knew I wanted to do a project that incorporated more than one of the pieces, because they look so pretty in a bunch, just like a garden where someone has thrown a handful of mixed seed down and all kinds of flowers come up together. I eventually settled on the idea of putting them on a purse. I had this brightly color-blocked purse that I felt was a perfect background for my flowers. And this was my result ...
I embellished and fixed up some of the pieces, and added some bits of green lace in among the flowers.
I hope my outdoor gardens look this bright and cheery this year!
