Lavender Nosegays



In the little town of Ridgeway, CO near Ouray/Telluride, Angie and I found a some great little antique shops. Now I don't know an antique from a piece of junk but it was fun wandering around looking at the many old items.  One surprise was a box of old handkerchiefs ... from an era long gone.  The arrival of Kleenex wiped out (haha) that age-old fashion accessory.  I couldn't resist buying them because many were beautifully embroidered and trimmed in a variety of laces.  After washing and ironing them, I wrapped them around little bundles of Betty's Blue lavender.  Betty's Blue variety is a small/medium size plant with a very deep blue color. 
A dozen of them are now sitting at the shop awaiting someone to buy for a Mother's Day gift.  5/5/14
