Last year did yield quite an amount of wood violets but this year I only found 3... But look who came to the rescue? Very talented blogger friend Dana from Lambs and Ivy Designs, made me some perfect ribbon violets. Look here also on Pinterest: Lambs and Ivy Designs Ribbonwork
Dana made these perfect violets and I placed them in a heart shape. At the top I put the only three real violets that we had...
The handmade violets together with the 3 real ones on a bed of moss in our garden...
THANKS A LOT DANA! They are so perfect.
Here are my wood violets from last year, together with a lovely silver napkin/card holder from Giovanni Raspini, Italy. These lovely angels, cherubs are available at Spectrenoir.
A lovely mini-bouquet of violets tied together with an ombré silk ribbon...
They do match my cup and saucers from Royal Albert Provincial Flowers with the Purple Violet pattern.
Available at Replacements Ltd. ←click it.
The demitasse spoons are Violet by Wallace (Sterling 1904) and also available at Replacements Ltd. Replacements Ltd. ←click it.
It is great for at least having those photos from last year's yield!
This pierced bon-bon spoon is also from Wallace in the Violet pattern.
