I've already featured Snowdrops in a Vase this year, but why stop at just once a year?
During the week via the bush telegraph, which is via WhatsApp they days, I learnt that one of our netball team lost her mother. When I hear of such news, my heart goes out and I also think of my own mother. Even though it was snowing, I felt I just had to pop a card and a little posy on our team member's doorstep.
I added some Rosemary for remembrance, and to reflect my mood a few leaves of Black mondo grass Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens'. The snowdrops growing in the front garden, together with their greenery, were tied together with a little raffia, which was in a glass jam jar, in case my friend was out.
I am linking this post in with Cathy's, which feature upside down vases and not quite snowdrops. With love to all our mothers....
Oh that is such a lovely thing to do, Noelle, and I am sure it will have brought a spark of joy to her day. The extras you have added to te snowdrops were the perfect choice
ReplyDeletealso, a virtual hug from my mother, in my posy today.
ReplyDeleteThere's always a place for more of these diminutive snowdrop creations, Noelle. It was a wonderful gesture to offer it to your friend upon the loss of her mother.
ReplyDeleteA treasured and thoughtful gift for your friend.
ReplyDeleteI love that, a wonderful posy for your friend and the textures and colors are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA most kind and thoughtful gift for a friend Noelle.
