Friday Folksy Finds - Winter Flowers

A gift of winter daffodils has inspired this week's selection, we have tips of snowdrops showing and that always gives me a warm feeling.  The year is about to be reborn and nature is stirring even on these cold, dark days.

 I have recently bought my Christmas wrapping and tags from this lady and they were a pleasure to receive, so I can heartily recommend her products and I love this winter allium card.  The crisp blues of the seed head as so winter.

 This is a sterling and fine silver mistletoe leaf necklace with gems, the the 'gems' look so like mistletoe and the silver leaf is an actual cast of a mistletoe leaf making this a wonderfully seasonal and beautiful necklace.
Down to Earth
These are naturally rusted, textured metal balls and rods made to look like the flower heads of alliums just before they open.  The would be a welcome addition to a winter border, giving support to other plants and a strong line against grasses and winter seed heads.

 This giclee print by Fizz Studio is so winter, you can feel the snow on those hardy little blooms.  I am very fond of snowdrops having many different ones in the garden and it always amazes me how something so delicate can be so tough.  Fizz Studio have some lovely prints, all inspired by nature, they even one that shows the return of the swallows in summer, well worth having a look.

This is a twisted Ophelia snowdrop necklace, there are matching ear studs and all are inspired by the Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett.  This pretty little necklace comes on an 18 inch chain and is hall marked silver.  A gorgeous winter gift.

Well these are my finds for this week and I did enjoy choosing them.  This afternoon we are off to Oxheys Mill in Preston to attend a Ceremony for Bringing in the New Year by a Native American Shaman.  Becca has been invited and we are going to have a new experience! Keep warm and well and my best wishes.
