{ Wedding Charm }

I made this bouquet charm for a neighbor of mine. They got married today. My friend was sad that her parents who are no longer here, would not be at her wedding. I made this bouquet charm for her. It has their wedding date on the front, and on the back (not shown for privacy reasons) a photo of her parents.

I used a graphic, mouse drawn by me of a blue ribbon. I included their names and wedding date. Added a silver filagree heart charm. Then a silk blue ribbon was added, so the charm can hang from the bouquet. You have to have the "something blue" for a wedding. =)

The photo of the parents on the back can be changed out to a wedding photo if they wish~

Later this charm can be kept for a wedding keepsake or used as a Christmas ornament for their tree. In memory of the year they got married.

Watch for charms like this in my future Etsy shoppe~

Sophia's Hankie

Sophia's hankie- this was my Mother's hankie. It was handmade for her in the 1940's by a special friend named Elsie. The delicate embroidery work on batiste fabric was done under a magnifying glass in the palest shade of blue. The open work is amazing for how tiny it is. The little medallion has layers and layers of embroidery.

My Mother gave this to me on my wedding day. I had it attached to my bouquet. I hope someday, I have a grand-daughter and maybe she will carry it on her wedding day.
