Bringin it Back....without the Polyester

She ordered one.  Something I make all the time but not for this...not for Mother's Day.  I smiled when she ordered it because...well....it brought back all these memories for me.   Memories of my childhood that flashed in my mind like faded polaroid snapshots.  My grandmothers, my great-grandmother, my great aunts, my mother....all the women I knew got one.  They wore it proudly pinned to polyester.

I even used to get one...a baby one...from my Dad, that man that has always given me flowers because he knew one day I'd be a mama.  We wore them to church like badges of honour, which is what they were.

I asked her about it today when she picked it up...and she said she always does it every year for her Mama...and I just smiled because I loved it!

A Mother's Day corsage for her Mama.

And I told her when she picked it up that she inspired me...because she made me want to make one for my Mama.  A badge of honour...a memory relived...something fresh and beautiful to wear to remind her that she is truly a blessing in my life and she deserves to be honoured!

So I had to do it.  I had to make my own Mama one.

And I'm so excited to give it to her!

Thank you Corinne for inspiring me...you have a beautiful heart and I just can't wait to do your wedding flowers!
