My grandma was an inveterate reader. My dad is too. As a little girl, instead of rounding up the neighbor kids to play school, I gathered up my books and started a library. My set of Winnie the Pooh has a penciled notation in childish handwriting "8 to 10." I must have thought that age would like it!
This book belonged to my grandma. I loved to look at it when I visited her, though I can tell she never made anyone wash their hands before handling it!
As you can see, this book has been lovingly read and used. It was published in 1910, so it's possible my grandma had it as a child. I don't remember if my brother or sister liked it, I just know it was very special to me. I was honored when grandma gave it to me when I had kids.
As a kid I really liked this page, with Jack Frost and a somewhat timid Daffodil.
All the flowers are depicted as children wearing their flower costume. The verses are cute or funny and on some of them grandma crossed out what was printed and added her own lines.
The single most depicted flower in this book is the rose, in its many varieties. When I was looking for an image for my shop and studio, already having the name Rose Brier, I was delighted to find a flower child that fit:
Sweet Briar Rose!
She's the front of my Moo Mini cards. If you don't know about moo cards, check their website out. It's interactive so you can see what your cards will look like. The mini cards are really small (1 1/4" x 2 3/4") and really fun !
