...petal pusher...

...yep

it's true ~

i

am

a

pusher

of

petals

as in flower petals!

and i have my absolute favorites,

as i'm sure do all of you.

it has been cold and rainy here...

but

just look how these delicate petals take it!!

  

they are almost luminous,

are they not??

and how about these

"girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes"

  

oh yes,

these are a few of my favorite things!

   

and if you casually sniff a rose

in your garden one day,

and pulled back a petal or two,

would you be surprised to find a flower fairy

hidden within??

i, myself, am always looking for such things...

 why just look!

i found this tiny fairy girl

 taking refuge under a few petals

to keep her wings dry.

she was pretty well hidden,

but

i spied her just the same!

and doesn't she look to have made herself quite comfortable? 

she has even hung a petite chandie!!

clever fairy...

  

beautiful petals don't always have to be real ~

sometimes they are made out of vintage linen too...

i tried to collect that clever flower fairy for my handmade cloche

but

she was having NO PART of that

and got away!!

i told her it was just for a picture

and she said:

yah right, 

i've heard that before!!

darn!!

now you will just have to settle for a few shell hearts

and dried up sea moss instead...

  

i made this petite fairy cloche

for

i WILL collect one!

((and of course, i'll let her go again))

(((probably, maybe)))

it is out of a marble candlestick holder

and a small saucer plate from germany.

i simply glued them together with a bit of "liquid nails"

and added a glass cloche

which just happens to be an upside down

candle holder

~ all pieces are from the thrift store! 

you just never know what inspiration the rain will bring :)
