Carnations - Did You Know?

I began making my Carnation Flower Pins 3 years ago (I can't believe it's been that long!!) and have now expanded to Chrysanthemums, daisies, Forget-Me-Nots, completely abstract and unique flowers and several more. But my favorites still have to be where it all started - the Carnations.

Did you know...
A dark red carnation denotes deep love and affection.


A pink carnation is a symbol of a mother's undying love.


A striped (variegated) carnation symbolize regret that a love cannot be shared.

Wednesday's Wonders - Happy Sunny Day

After a not-so-enjoyable evening last night, I woke up this morning in a surprisingly good mood. Maybe it was the late-nite carb binge or watching a good movie that helped. Maybe it was wishing to hear ONE particular song on the radio and as I flipped through the stations, I found it. Playing. Right. That. Second. Maybe it was waking up to these beautiful sunflowers that brightened my morning. Either way, how could these sun-loving flowers not put a smile on your face!!
