Pick a Bouquet of Spring Flowers - Artisan Handmade Floral Gifts

Posted February 19, 2023

 

 

Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.

 

~ Bishop Reginald Heber ~

 

 

I have always loved the quote shared above.  Bishop Reginald Heber (1783-1826), well known for his poetry, describes in just a few words the joyousness of spring on the return of flowers.  I, myself, can’t wait to finish the new flower bed I started digging last fall and filling it with native plants chosen specifically for pollinators of all types.  Let the flowers paint the laughing soil!  And let the colorful flowers be an important food source for bees of all types, flower flies, butterflies, moths, wasps and hummingbirds.  

 

With all-things-flower in mind, I invited artist friends to share two of their floral designs.  As you will see in the beautiful items below, there is a wide range of flowers to be had, from note cards to jewelry, from lampwork beads to photography, from photography to digital art and many, many more!  Be sure to pick a bouquet of floral beauties and support small handmade businesses!

 

For Twitter, please use the hashtag #SpringFlowers.

Since Valentine's Day will soon be hear, I decided to pull together some of my SHADOW DOG DESIGNS handmade jewelry, any of which will make a wonderful gift for a loved one.  Featured are unique designs that have hearts and / or have pink as a main color . . . or both.  Eight pairs of earrings and three necklace are included.  Even though each will make a perfect Valentine's gift, each piece design can also be worn all year long.  As with most of my designs, the jewelry spotlighted here are one of a kind designs.  Doesn't your sweetie deserve jewelry that was handmade from the heart???
