Bargainous Flowers!

Ooooh I love an unexpected bargain right next to the checkout I do! I went to the floristry wholesalers today to stock up on flowers to demolish for brooches and bobby pins and on the way out I spotted vases marked 20p each being filled with some massive, richly coloured flowers by an assistant. She asked me what I was looking for and I told her velvets.

She said, if I price this box here at £2.50 (that's about $3.70 at the moment) would I take it and save her unpacking it? Ooooh, let me think.........

Goodness knows what I will do with them all but it would have been rude to say 'no' don't you think?

And there is pansies, that's for thoughts

...Says poor, demented Ophelia in Hamlet! NEW in our Etsy store, millinery pansies given the Wychbury treatment (ie throw every textile technique you can think of at it, sew a few beads on for luck then TRY and leave it alone!). The have been painted, embroidered, beaded and stuck on a bobby pin to make gorgeous hair accessories for the Pre-Raphaelite in all of us!
