Candy in the Garden

Mom plants tulips in our front garden while I stand by, sucking on a hard candy harvested from the depths of her enormous handbag. Citrus flavors pucker my mouth, orange and lemon, a hint of cherry. Mom turns, wipes a stray hair from her eyes and says: these will be lovely next spring.

Truly gorgeous handcrafted paper mache beads with an unlikely combination of vintage enameled flower findings (60’s) and brilliant tangerine glass faceted beads. These will make you feel happy, I promise!
